Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), a large group of heart and blood vessel afflictions, are the leading causes of one in three deaths worldwide. Although CVDs have been intensively studied in humans and animal models, their underlying molecular bases are still not fully understood. It has now become clear that the circulatory system is a multidimensional mosaic of interacting, partially overlapping molecular processes, whose organizational principles are race/strain-, age, sex- and sex hormone-dependent and can be altered by diet, stress and other external stimuli. Moreover, the circulatory system directly interacts with all other systems of the human body, and, therefore, any CVD affects several organs.
In this Special Issue, we will provide the reader with updated experimental and theoretical developments that explore, analyze, and interpret data resulting from varied molecular studies. The contributing papers will present the remodeling of functional pathways at the molecular level in severe CVDs and their restoration following targeted therapies.

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. Current Issues in Molecular Biology is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
