Research Advances Related to Cardiovascular System

Dear Colleagues,

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of global mortality and present huge unmet medical demands worldwide. Here, we aim to establish a Special Issue to provide cutting-edge insights into cardiovascular system biology and CVDs pathogenesis by publishing high-quality research articles, reviews, commentary, editorials, and short communications related to various aspects of cardiovascular biology, physiology, and pathology. The topics include but are not limited to the following:

• GPCR signaling transduction and regulation in cardiovascular systems;
• Calcium Regulation;
• Cardiovascular remodeling: inflammation and fibrosis;
• Cell-cell communication in cardiovascular systems;
• Heart failure;
• Atherosclerosis;
• Hypertension.

This Special Issue aims to advance the current knowledge of all genetic, epigenetic, molecular, and signal regulation on cardiovascular biology, physiology, and pathological remodeling and highlights the potential therapeutic targets and strategies for managing CVDs. Studies in all the above-related fields are invited to contribute to this Special Issue. Particularly, we encourage the submission of studies that combines the integrative approaches of bioinformatics, transgenic animal model, and molecular biology.

We look forward to your contributions.

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. Cells is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2700 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.
