Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
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 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 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.
