Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a relatively rare disease characterized by acute episodes of swelling. These swellings can be disfiguring, painful and life-threatening. Since the symptoms occur in different areas and most patients experience a delay in their diagnosis, resulting in unnecessary suffering and dangerous situations. HAE can have a tremendous impact on the quality of life.
The major genetic deficiency in this disorder is either an absent or nonfunctional C1INH which regulates the complement, fibrinolitic, kalikrein and plasmin pathways.
My laboratory has published several papers in Cell Communication Insights. In each case, reviewer comments were returned promptly; the suggested revisions were both fair and quite helpful, reflecting positively on the quality of the review. Once accepted, the editorial office provided clear and frequent updates on the progress of our manuscripts through each step of the publication process. When necessary, I had prompt email responses to my questions and the figure quality was exceptional. Keep up the outstanding work.Dr Paul J.
