Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiovascular diseases remain a major global health challenge, influenced by a complex interplay between cellular metabolism, oxidative stress, and vascular function. Metabolic pathways regulate energy production, redox balance, and cell signaling processes that are essential for maintaining cardiovascular health. When these systems become dysregulated, they contribute to endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, vascular remodeling, and the progression of cardiovascular diseases.
This Special Issue aims to explore the intricate connections between metabolism, vascular biology, and cardiovascular function across molecular, cellular, and clinical levels. We welcome studies that address oxidative stress, mitochondrial biology, lipid and glucose metabolism, redox signaling, blood rheology, microcirculatory flow, and the role of antioxidants in cardiovascular physiology and pathology. Interdisciplinary contributions spanning biochemistry, pharmacology, translational research, and preventive medicine are highly encouraged.
We warmly invite researchers to submit original research articles, reviews, and short communications that may deepen our understanding of how metabolic and rheological regulation influences cardiovascular health and disease.
We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions.
Sincerely,
Dr. Ivana Jukić

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. Biomedicines 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.
