Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metabolic diseases, such as hypertension, excess weight, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and vascular conditions, have become a global epidemic. These diseases are driven by metabolic risks like oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, glucose intolerance, altered blood flow patterns, arterial hardening, endothelial dysfunction, and subclinical atherosclerosis. Together, these metabolic abnormalities significantly contribute to the development of metabolic diseases, accelerating the progression to acute vascular events such as heart attacks and strokes. Despite extensive efforts, no country has succeeded in reducing, reversing, or preventing these metabolic diseases. To address this critical health challenge, there is a need to delve into the cellular and molecular mechanisms that initiate metabolic risks, promote the development of these diseases, and precipitate acute vascular events. This understanding is essential for the development of early diagnostic tools, improved risk management strategies, and innovative prevention methods. To advance our knowledge in this field, we are dedicating a Special Issue to "Cardiometabolic Diseases." This Special Issue aims to create an up-to-date digital health knowledge repository, essentially serving as an encyclopedia covering all aspects of metabolic dysfunctions, ultimately contributing to progress in the management of metabolic and vascular diseases. We invite contributors to provide insights into the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the progression of these diseases; propose robust strategies for the early diagnosis of the risks, managing the risk factors that contribute to these diseases; and propose novel strategies for primary prevention.

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.
