Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is the continuation of our previous Special Issue, “Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms of Cardiovascular and Metabolic Diseases”.
Cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, including obesity and diabetes, are major global health hazards that also represent increasing human and economic burdens. However, the underlying cellular and molecular processes that cause these abnormalities are not fully understood. Therefore, a complete understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the development of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases could help in the introduction of novel strategies for an improved reduction in the risk/predisposition of such diseases in the vulnerable and at-risk populations as well as better-quality treatment. It is envisioned that this Special Issue will bring together contributions from experts around the world to describe recent advances in the different mechanisms that lead to the development of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. This Special Issue will be uniquely positioned, as it will focus on the cellular and molecular mechanisms of cardiovascular disease as well as metabolic diseases including obesity and diabetes. Since cardiovascular and metabolic diseases are linked and can occur concomitantly, an interplay or overlapping of some mechanisms may exist between these pathophysiological conditions, which may be of scientific interest. Overall, the information provided in this Special Issue will be of value in the design of novel therapeutic interventions to reduce or reverse cardiovascular and metabolic diseases as well as assist in establishing improved approaches for their prevention.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
