Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiometabolic diseases, including type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and metabolic syndrome, have reached pandemic proportions. These interconnected conditions elevate the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, heart failure, chronic kidney disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, obstructive sleep apnea, and polycystic ovary syndrome, creating a vicious cycle of worsening metabolic dysregulation and poor outcomes. Recent advances, such as sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, have reshaped therapeutic strategies, demonstrating efficacy across cardiometabolic diseases and crossing traditional specialty boundaries.
This Special Issue of Biomolecules invites high-quality original research articles and comprehensive reviews on molecular mechanisms, biomarkers, and innovative therapies for cardiometabolic diseases. By bridging basic science and clinical practice, it aims to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and highlight translational research to improve patient outcomes.
In this Special Issue, submissions may cover (but are not limited to) the following themes:
- Pathophysiological mechanisms driving cardiometabolic diseases;
- Identification and validation of novel therapeutic targets and biomarkers;
- The use of novel anti-diabetic therapies and hormonal therapies in the management of cardiometabolic diseases;
- Insights into lifestyle interventions and their impact on cardiometabolic outcomes.
We look forward to receiving your contributions and collaborating on this important initiative to advance the field of cardiometabolic research.

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.
