Molecular Mechanism in Cardiac Remodeling

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to submit your research to this IJMS Special Issue on the topic of “molecular mechanisms in cardiac remodeling”. Cardiac remodeling is a complex pathological process involving both electrical and structural remodeling of the heart, which are interrelated processes contributing to the risk of arrhythmias and the progression of heart failure. We encourage the submission of manuscripts that provide novel and mechanistic insights and offer a significant advancement of scientific understanding in this field.

This Special Issue aims to publish experimental, theoretical, and computational results in as much detail as possible to help facilitate the understanding of heart disease progression, development of new therapies, assessment of prognosis, and reversal of cardiac remodeling by drug or gene-/cell-based therapies.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

1. Cellular and molecular pathways of cardiac remodeling;
2. Biomarker development to detect and predict remodeling;
3. Pharmacology and precise medicine for cardiomyopathy;
4. Computational modeling;
5. Novel experimental models of cardiomyopathy.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
