Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death globally, and 85% of CVD deaths are due to heart attacks and strokes. Understanding of the risk factors of CVDs and identification of their underlying molecular aspects is important for preventing CVDs. There are a number of risk factors, including behavioural risk factors (unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, alcohol, and smoking), comorbidities (diabetes, obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidaemia, inflammation and infection), genetic variations, aging, and social risk factors (anxiety, psychological distress and poverty).
We are pleased to invite you to submit to this Special Issue on “Molecular Aspects of Cardiovascular Risk Factors”. This Special Issue aims to collect papers to reflect recent research and advances in cardiovascular risk factors and their various molecules and pathophysiological aspects in the disease processes. We encourage contributions on molecular biology, biochemistry, physiology, and genetics to address diverse risk factors and their target proteins and signalling pathways.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but not be limited to) the following: biomarkers for risk factors; new target proteins; oxidative stress; mitochondrial dysfunction; homocysteine; ischaemic heart disease; vascular diseases; thrombosis; diabetes; obesity; diet supplements; antioxidants; exercise.
We look forward to receiving 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 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. Biomolecules 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 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
