Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the last few years, biomarker research has improved our knowledge about the pathomechanisms and risk assessment in the cardiovascular field. Increasing our understanding of the multifactorial, complex underpinnings of cardiovascular diseases promises to have a global impact on the promotion of health. Valuable insights have already been acquired from several genomic and genetic studies and novel molecular biomarkers have been associated with cardiovascular risk. Translational approaches into a full understanding of the underlying mechanisms of biomarkers and into their clinical relevance are currently ongoing. The systematic integration of multidimensional biomarker datasets, such as genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics evolves as the next challenge, including molecular findings of interactions between biomolecules as well as knowledge from cell biology, animal experiments and human phenotypic and clinical data. We encourage scientists of diverse backgrounds (clinics, systems medicine, genetics, molecular biology, epidemiology) and working in the cardiovascular field to contribute original research or review articles covering studies on biomolecule identification or characterization and translational approaches of clinical relevance.

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. 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
