Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aim of this Special Issue of Biomolecules is to explore the genetic and immunological aspects underlying myocarditis, pericarditis, and inflammatory heart disease. These multifactorial diseases have diverse etiologies, including autoimmune mechanisms, drug-induced hypersensitivity reactions, and viral and non-viral infections, among others. Irrespective of the cause, the pathophysiology is characterized by an inflammatory cascade that leads to myocyte injury, adverse ventricular remodeling, interstitial fibrosis, and functional impairment. Unfortunately, a significant subset of patients progress to dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), chronic heart failure, and high-mortality cardiac-related conditions. Investigations into immunological responses and how genetics may influence inflammatory pathways can provide the basis for new therapeutic options.

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.
