Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the first volume of this Special Issue being a great success (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/life/special_issues/0UO87783VR), we invite you to publish your research in the second volume.

Presently, cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the most prominent menace to human health. Because CVD is still the leading cause of death, research in this field is a critical task. Although recent decades have seen tremendous progress regarding the risk factors of CVD, the molecular basis of atherosclerosis, coronary revascularization and treatment of heart failure (these being only a few areas of research interest to be reminded), much remains to be done and the prospects are promising. In order to improve the quality and length of life for those at risk for CVD, research for better predictors of this disease and better means for prevention and treatment must be the target.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to identify several important advances in clinical and basic research in CVD that will provide the tools for further progress in the prevention and treatment of this disease. As artificial intelligence plays an increasingly important role in the prevention of CVD, it may be worth considering this aspect.

Therefore, it is our pleasure to cordially invite those of you with interest in CVD research and willing to be part of this Special Issue to publish papers that address novelties in both clinical and basic cardiovascular research. We encourage the submission of all types of manuscripts, including original studies, reviews and short communications.

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. Life is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.

Olfactory receptors (ORs) represent one of the largest yet least investigated families of G protein-coupled receptors in mammals. While initially believed to be functionally restricted to the detection and integration of odors at the olfactory epithelium, accumulating evidence points to a critical role for ectopically expressed ORs in the regulation of cellular homeostasis in extranasal tissues. This review aims to summarize the current state of knowledge on the expression and physiological functions of ectopic ORs in the cardiovascular system, kidneys, and primary metabolic organs and emphasizes how altered ectopic OR signaling in those tissues may impact cardiovascular–kidney–metabolic health.
