Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As is widely known, cardiovascular diseases are among the leading causes of death worldwide; therefore, advances in technologies concerning preclinical models able to produce translational results are of extreme interest. This Special Issue aims at introducing the most advanced tools currently available to both preclinical researchers and clinicians involved in cardiovascular studies. Original articles and reviews describing all experimental models potentially useful for cardiovascular research are accepted. This will include, among others, in silico procedures, mathematical/experimental models derived from Quantum Biology, Omics sciences, in vivo/in vitro models and the emerging field of the organoids and 2D cultures cultivated on chips and in micro/millifluidic systems.
This Special Issue seeks to focus on both basic science and translational research as well as clinical studies in order to have a complete overview of the latest and advanced study models. Pure clinical studies will not be suitable, but clinical submissions with biomolecular experiments are welcome.

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.
