Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
One misunderstood area in medicine is the effect of various sex hormones, including their metabolites, transport proteins and fluctuations, on different parts of cardiovascular system. The understanding of this phenomenon could be expanded at the laboratory level and in clinical observations and studies and could be critical for the improvement of medical care. To support those who are involved in this field, this Special Issue of IJMS is dedicated to high-quality studies focused on the effect of sex hormones on the cardiovascular system at various levels. Based on our previous positive experience, we believe that your research could add substantial value to this Special Issue. In particular, as the Guest Editors, we would like to invite you to contribute a research paper or review article for peer review, and potentially, for publication. Priority will be given to the articles focused on experimental research investigating the (sub)molecular mechanisms of hormonal processes involved in the development of cardiovascular disease. Case reports are not suitable for publication in this Special Issue. For further details on the submission process, please see the Instructions for Authors at IJMS (IJMS | Instructions for Authors).
Prof. Dr. Jan Pitha
Guest Editor

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.
