New Advances in Myocardial Regeneration: Molecular Mechanisms and Promising Approaches

Dear Colleagues,

Myocardial infarction (MI) and consequent heart failure remain the leading cause of death worldwide and a major burden on healthcare systems. This Special Issue "New Advances in Myocardial Regeneration" aims to focus on the latest basic and translational research aimed at finding a cure for heart failure due to cardiomyocyte loss and/or dysfunction.

This Special Issue aims to highlight key findings and promising approaches to cardiac remuscularisation, but may also discuss remaining challenges or critical issues regarding internal regenerative processes (resident factors or cells; the direct reprogramming of resident cells) or external approaches (the transplantation of cells; the application of substances).

Both original studies and reviews will be published. These could include topics such as cardiac organoids, modified RNA, single cell omics, 3D bioprinting, exosome delivery, and machine learning approaches. Any type of research dedicated to finding new effective approaches to myocardial regeneration will be of interest.

Dr. Katherine Sattler

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.
