Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and cancer are the leading global causes of death, responsible for approximately 18 million and 10 million fatalities annually, respectively. These diseases also impose a substantial economic burden on society. As such, further investigation into their pathogenesis is critical for developing new treatment strategies. Increasing evidence suggests that elevated sympathetic nerve activity plays a key role in the development of both CVDs and cancer. As a result, targeting sympathetic nerve activity may offer a promising therapeutic approach for treating both conditions. This Special Issue of IJMS will explore the latest advancements in understanding how sympathetic nerve activity contributes to CVDs and cancer. It will delve into the molecular mechanisms through which sympathetic nerve activity contributes to the formation and progression of these diseases. We particularly invite articles addressing the impact of sympathetic nerve activity on heart failure, arrhythmias, stroke, atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, obesity, and various types of cancer.

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.
