BMC Cardiovascular Disorders is calling for submissions to our Collection on cell and molecular therapy for cardiovascular diseases. Scientists from around the globe are investigating/leveraging cell and molecular-based strategies to protect, regenerate, replace, and restore the function of cardiac and vascular tissue. Advances in basic and clinical research have yielded encouraging findings highlighting the promise of such strategies to treat a range of CVDs. However, gaps in our knowledge remain and further research is required to translate findings from basic research into the clinic. 

In support of SDG 3: Good Health & Wellbeing, BMC Cardiovascular Disorders calls for papers exploring the potential of stem cells, gene editing, tissue engineering, disease modeling, and organoids to improve our understanding of cardiovascular diseases and open new avenues for therapeutic intervention. 

Meet the Guest Editors

Sherin Saheera: University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School, US

Dr Sherin Saheera completed her PhD in India in 2017 and went to the US to pursue her postdoctoral studies. After a year of training at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, she is currently working as a Postdoctoral Associate at the University of Massachusetts, Chan Medical School, where she has been  since January 2019. She has over 18 publications in peer reviewed high impact journals and has been serving as an editorial board member and reviewer for reputed journals. She has also presented papers in several national and international conferences.

Huiliang Zhang: University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, US
Dr Zhang’s research focuses on cardiac dysfunction in the aging heart with an emphasis on the pathogenic role of elevated proton leak from mitochondria. He explores the strategies for restoring mitochondrial function and stem cell therapies to reverse cardiac dysfunction in preclinical models of aging. Dr. Zhang is the principal investigator of the NIH R35 grant and the American Heart Association (AHA) Career Development Award. Dr. Zhang served in NIH and AHA study sections. He has nearly 40 original publications and has won several national trainee and junior faculty awards.

Submission Guidelines

This Collection welcomes submission of original Research Articles. Should you wish to submit a different article type, please read our submission guidelines to confirm that type is accepted by the journal. Articles for this Collection should be submitted via our submission system, Snapp. During the submission process you will be asked whether you are submitting to a Collection, please select "Cell and molecular therapy for cardiovascular disorders" from the dropdown menu.

Articles will undergo the journal’s standard peer-review process and are subject to all of the journal’s standard policies. Articles will be added to the Collection as they are published.

The Editors have no competing interests with the submissions which they handle through the peer review process. The peer review of any submissions for which the Editors have competing interests is handled by another Editorial Board Member who has no competing interests.

Submission Status: Open   |   Submission Deadline: 21 June 2024

Sudden cardiac death

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders is calling for submissions to our Collection on Sudden cardiac death. Sudden cardiac death (SCD) represents a critical challenge in cardiovascular medicine, often occurring unexpectedly and without prior symptoms. Understanding the underlying mechanisms, risk factors, and preventive strategies is crucial in combating this life-threatening event. Contributions to this Collection will provide valuable insights into the multifaceted nature of sudden cardiac death, fostering advancements in risk assessment, prevention, and management strategies. We welcome original research articles, reviews, perspectives, and case studies that contribute to our understanding of this critical cardiovascular phenomenon. In support of SDG 3: Good Health & Wellbeing, this Collection seeks contributions that address a spectrum of topics, including but not limited to: - Pathophysiology and Mechanisms - Risk Stratification and Prediction - Preventive Strategies and Interventions - Community-Based Initiatives - Technological Innovations - Clinical Management and Emergency Response - Psychosocial Implications and Patient Perspectives

Publishing Model: Open Access

Deadline: Feb 24, 2025

Cardiovascular aging

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders is calling for submissions to our Collection on Cardiovascular aging. Cardiovascular aging represents a complex interplay of physiological, cellular, and molecular changes that significantly impact the structure and function of the heart and vasculature. As individuals age, they become increasingly susceptible to various clinical complications affecting the cardiovascular system. Such complications include, angina, arrithymias, anemia, atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, aortic stenosis, congestive heart failure, hypertension/ orthostatic hypotension, transient ischemic attacks, stroke, blood clots, deep vein thrombosis, peripheral vascular disease, varicose veins and aneurysms. With aging populations experiencing a growing burden of cardiovascular disease, there is an urgent need to elucidate the fundamental processes driving cardiovascular aging, identify novel therapeutic targets, and develop innovative strategies to promote healthy aging and mitigate age-related cardiovascular risk factors. In support of SDG 3: Good Health & Wellbeing, this Collection seeks contributions that address a spectrum of topics, including but not limited to: • Age-Related Changes in Cardiac Structure and Function • Vascular Aging and Arterial Stiffness • Aging and Atherosclerosis • Age-Related Cardiovascular Diseases • Biomarkers of Cardiovascular Aging • Cellular senescence in age-related cardiovascular disease • Oxidative stress, inflammation and the immune system in age-related cardiovascular dysfunction • Epigenetic mechanisms underlying age-related cardiovascular dysfunction • Interventions to Promote Healthy Aging

Publishing Model: Open Access

Deadline: May 20, 2025
