Cardiovascular Research: From Molecular Mechanisms to Novel Therapies

Dear Colleagues,

Advances in molecular medicine have represented a driving force in the development of innovative therapies for cardiovascular diseases. This Special Issue will explore cutting-edge research in cardiac and vascular biology, focusing on both fundamental molecular mechanisms and novel therapeutic strategies.

We welcome original research and review articles covering a broad spectrum of topics related to cardiovascular pathology and diseases, including, but not limited to, the following:

• Molecular and cellular mechanisms behind cardiovascular diseases;
• Molecular diagnostics and biomarkers;
• Mechanistic insights from bench models, organoids, and in vivo studies;
• Gene therapy and regenerative medicine;
• Innovative pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies;
• Translational studies, preclinical models, and clinical trials.

This Special Issue will provide a broad update on new discoveries and advances in therapies, supporting the transition of molecular research into clinical practice.

We invite contributions from researchers and clinician–scientists working across molecular biology, cardiovascular medicine, bioengineering, and pharmacology.

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.
