Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue “Breakthroughs in Cardiac Tissue Remodeling: From Mechanisms to Therapeutics” will present a selection of recent research topics and current review articles in the field of cardiac tissue remodeling, as well as experimental papers, up-to-date review articles, and commentaries.
Cardiac tissue remodeling plays a pivotal role in the progression of various cardiovascular diseases, including myocardial infarction, heart failure, and cardiomyopathies. Understanding the mechanisms of adverse remodeling and developing strategies to mitigate its effects are critical for improving patient outcomes. Recent research has provided significant insights into the molecular and cellular processes underlying cardiac remodeling, including the roles of inflammation, fibrosis, and neurohormonal activation. Additionally, emerging therapies aim to promote favorable remodeling and restore cardiac function. This Special Issue will highlight advances in several key areas: the molecular and cellular mechanisms driving adverse cardiac remodeling, novel biomarkers for early detection and monitoring, therapeutic interventions targeting remodeling pathways, the impact of cardiotoxicity on cardiac structure and function, and the development of innovative models to study cardiac dysfunction and regeneration. We invite contributions that explore these themes, offering new perspectives on the pathophysiology of cardiac remodeling and potential therapeutic approaches. The goal is to provide a comprehensive overview of current progress and future directions in the field.
Dr. Antonio Lax

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.
