Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Heart failure (HF) poses an enormous social and economic burden worldwide. Despite the improvement in the prevention, diagnosis and management of this multifactorial syndrome, the understanding of the molecular underpinnings of HF remains incomplete. Over the course of the last several decades, molecular and genetic studies have implicated various signaling pathways participating in the pathophysiology of this syndrome. More recently, the improvement of next-generation sequencing (NGS) techniques is providing a continuously growing understanding of the genetics and genomics of cardiac cells in HF. For this Special Issue, we invite investigators to contribute original research and review articles focusing on the understanding of the molecular and genetic basis of HF and on the recently developed genomic tools applicable to HF 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.
