Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue delves into the intersection of molecular biology and therapeutic innovations in cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), emphasizing the intricate mechanisms driving heart and blood vessel disorders and their potential treatments. The title comprehensively explores the fundamental cellular processes contributing to cardiovascular dysfunction and the cutting-edge strategies to address these conditions.
The focus on "molecular mechanisms" underscores an in-depth investigation into how CVDs develop at the cellular and genetic levels. Key areas include inflammation, oxidative stress, apoptosis, and vascular remodeling pathways. Understanding these processes is critical for uncovering novel therapeutic targets and advancing the development of more effective treatments.
The "therapeutic strategies" aspect highlights the application of molecular insights to medical practice, encompassing established therapies and emerging approaches such as gene therapy, targeted pharmacological interventions, and personalized medicine. This integration of molecular research and clinical innovation represents a modern, holistic approach to cardiovascular medicine, where discoveries at the bench are seamlessly translated to bedside applications.
This Special Issue is poised to serve as a vital resource for cardiovascular medicine researchers, clinicians, and pharmaceutical developers. It will offer valuable perspectives on disease mechanisms and pioneering treatment strategies.

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.
