Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiovascular disease refers to a range of conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels, including hypertension, cardiomyopathy, atherosclerosis and arrhythmia, which all seriously affect human health.
Proteomics refers to the exploration of proteomes from the overall level of protein composition, structure, and activity. Proteomic approaches have powerful applications in cardiovascular disease. Several technologies have been widely used for tasks ranging from the discovery and targeted use of mass spectrometry proteomics to the use of aptamer- and antibody-based methods that have recently gained more attention from cardiovascular researchers. Proteomics provides a new perspective on the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases by revealing the molecular types of atherosclerotic lesions and allowing study of their associations with histology, imaging and cardiovascular outcomes, thus identifying disease mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets in cardiovascular tissue and discovering biomarkers from biofluid samples.
This Special Issue focuses on cardiovascular proteomics research, including biomarkers, therapeutic targets, molecular mechanisms of disease, molecular types, the comparative analysis of proteomes, etc. We invite you to contribute original research and review articles.
Dr. Konstantinos Theofilatos
Guest Editor
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.
