Aims and Scopes

The Microvascular Reviews and Communications (MVRC) is an international forum for researchers in both basic and clinical medicine to present and discuss new research on the microcirculation in the whole organs in the human bodies including vascular and microvascular biology, physiology and pathophysiology. The scope of the journal covers a broad spectrum of vascular and lymphatic research, including vascular structure, vascular function, hemodynamics, mechanics, cell signaling, intercellular communication, growth and differentiation. Multimedia offerings of images and movies are one of the characteristics of this journal. Manuscript processing times are kept as short as possible due to electronic submission. All articles are published online ensuring rapid publication. The 'Microvascular Reviews and Communications' is the official journal of the Japanese Society for Microcirculation.
