Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to publish the special issue on sleep apnea and intermittent hypoxia with the emphasis on the experimental data from both acute and chronic intermittent hypoxia studies serving as a model for studying sleep apnea in humans, as well as from the clinical human studies on the obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients where biological markers were measured.
We would be interested in both acute and chronic intermittent hypoxia effects on respiration and sympathetic activity, as well as on different biological markers, and possibly exploring the difference between the two types of experimental hypoxia.
We would strongly support receiving your study data on OSA patients' blood samples targeting some biomarkers, such as inflammatory and metabolic ones, but also those from DNA, proteins and glycans.
IJMS is a journal of molecular science, so pure clinical studies are not suitable, but biomolecular experimental studies are welcome. We are pleased to invite you to participate in this Special Issue through research articles, comprehensive reviews. We will pay special attention on your submission.
Prof. Dr. Zoran Đogaš

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. 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.
