Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Micro/nano systems have engendered significant advancements in intravascular applications, offering innovative solutions for the diagnosis, treatment, and management of various cardiovascular diseases. With the development of innovative technologies, these systems provide precise control and manipulation, thus promoting the generation of novel insights and targeted therapies for conditions such as thrombosis, atherosclerosis, and vascular malformations.

This Special Issue seeks to highlight recent progress in micro/nano systems for intravascular applications. We welcome the submission of research papers, short communications, and review articles that focus on novel methodological developments, clinical applications, and the integration of these systems into existing medical practices. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, microfluidic devices for blood flow analysis, micro/nano systems for targeted drug delivery, biosensors for the real-time monitoring of vascular health, and the role of micro/nano systems in personalized medicine.

By exploring these advancements, we aim to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and accelerate the translation of micro/nano technologies from bench to bedside, ultimately enhancing patient outcomes and advancing the field of intravascular research.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Micromachines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
