Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to invite you to contribute original research articles or comprehensive reviews to our Special Issue, “Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms of Aortic Diseases: From Biomarkers to Therapeutic Strategies.”
Aortic diseases encompass a broad spectrum of acute and chronic conditions, ranging from life-threatening emergencies to pathologies requiring long-term conservative management. This Special Issue focuses on the biological complexity of conditions such as thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysms, acute aortic syndromes (including dissection, intramural hematoma and penetrating atherosclerotic ulcers), traumatic injuries and inflammatory or genetic disorders like Marfan syndrome and congenital abnormalities.
We are specifically seeking papers that explore the molecular and cellular shifts driving the pathogenesis and progression of these diseases. Our goal is to bridge the gap between basic science and clinical application by identifying:
- Novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for earlier detection and risk stratification.
- Innovative targeted therapies designed to modulate disease progression.
- Advanced insights into pathogenetic mechanisms that support a more personalized therapeutic approach.
By consolidating the latest findings in the field, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of how molecular insights can be translated into better patient outcomes.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Maria Giovanna Scioli
Guest Editor
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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. Biomolecules 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 2700 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.
