Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a leading cause of global morbidity and mortality, covering a broad spectrum of conditions such as myocardial infarction, arrhythmias, and atherosclerosis. Understanding the molecular mechanisms driving these diseases is essential for developing targeted and effective therapies.
This Special Issue, "Molecular Pathogenesis of Cardiovascular Diseases", aims to provide the latest insights into the molecular and cellular pathways underlying CVD development and progression. We welcome submissions that investigate the roles of inflammation, fibrosis, immune cell activation, and other key processes in cardiovascular pathology. By integrating diverse perspectives and cutting-edge research, this Special Issue seeks to advance knowledge and inspire novel strategies to combat cardiovascular diseases.

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. Cells is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
