Immune cell behavior

Dear Colleagues,

Immune system is an essential component in our body that protects us against invasion into our body, to guarantee our survival. The most important immune cells in our system are the white blood cells which include phagocytes and lymphocytes. In cardiovascular system, damage to the organs will trigger inflammatory response, orchestrated by immune cells. Disturbances to the immune system may cause inflammation related cardiovascular disease such as atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, hypertension and many others.
The main focus of the Special Issue on Immune Cell Behavior is to comprehensively review the role of immune cell behavior in cardiovascular disease, and its possible modulation by drugs and potential phytochemicals. 
Topics of interests for the planned Special Issue of Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine include but not limited to:
1. Molecular mechanisms of immune cell behavior in cardiovascular disease.
2. Modulation of immune cell behavior by phytochemicals in cardiovascular disease.
3. Modulation of immune cell behavior by cardiovascular drugs.
4. Role of transcription factors in cardiovascular immune system.
5. Role of immune cells in inflammatory response in cardiovascular disease.
6. Immune cells-targeted therapy in cardiovascular disease
The overall goal of this Special Issue is to provide more understanding to readers regarding the behavior of the immune cells that play a role in cardiovascular disease.
Authors are invited to submit their reviews, original research articles, systematic reviews, case reports and short communications to the special issue.
