Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System in Pathologies
This special issue belongs to the section “Molecular Pathology, Diagnostics, and Therapeutics“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) regulates blood pressure and body fluid, and its inappropriate activation contributes to hypertension as well as cardiovascular and renal diseases. Furthermore, accumulating evidence suggests that dysregulation of the RAAS may also play an important role in the pathogenesis of other lifestyle diseases, including metabolic and neurodegenerative disorders, various cancers, dysuria, inflammatory diseases, and many others. In this Special Issue, we will collect recent advances in the study of the specific contributions of a dysregulated RAAS in lifestyle diseases, with a focus on newly discovered molecular pathways and therapeutic targets associated with the RAAS.

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. 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.
