Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The term “extracellular vesicles” (EV) refers to particles naturally released by several cell types upon different stimuli, which are bounded by a lipid bilayer and cannot replicate. Exosomes, microparticles, and apoptotic bodies, which differ in composition, biogenesis, and size, belong to this family. Evidence gathered over the past several years has demonstrated that EV are involved in numerous physiological processes, including blood coagulation and inflammation. Initially proposed as actors in blood coagulation, more recently, it has become evident that EV also carry other biological components of the parental cell in addition to phospholipids, which greatly broaden the spectrum of their potential effects as intercellular mediators and players in pathological processes.
For this Special Issue, we invite researchers to contribute either with original research (both in vivo or in vitro studies) or review articles focusing on vesicle-mediated thrombo-inflammatory mechanisms, as well as on the potential role of these EV as biomarkers, in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular and respiratory diseases.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
