Atherosclerosis

  • ISSN: 0021-9150
  • 5 Year impact factor: 5.3
  • Impact factor: 4.9
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) causes one third of all deaths worldwide and is a major threat to global health. Atherosclerosis aims to provide a comprehensive platform for researchers, clinicians and healthcare professionals to share the latest findings and advances in the field of atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis covers a wide range of topics, including:Pathophysiology and Mechanisms: We explore the intricate cellular and molecular processes involved in atherogenesis, from the initial formation of fatty streaks to the development of complex plaques. We also welcome studies on cardiac biology and disease.Risk Factors: We consider manuscripts that examine both traditional and emerging risk factors for atherosclerosis, such as dyslipidaemia, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, thrombosis and genetic predisposition.Prevention of CVD: Since prevention will become a major focus in the future (see e.g. the European Cardiovascular Health Plan), an important focus will be on preventive strategies, including lifestyle modifications and pharmacological interventions.Diagnostics Techniques: We features articles on cutting-edge diagnostic techniques, ranging from invasive procedures such as selective coronary arteriography to non-invasive techniques such as blood biomarkers.Treatment Approaches: Atherosclerosis covers the latest developments in the treatment of atherosclerosis, including lipid-lowering therapies, anti-inflammatory treatments and novel targeted approaches aimed at modifying disease progression and improving clinical outcomes.Translational Research: We bridges the gap between basic science and clinical practice by highlighting translational studies that bring laboratory findings closer to practical applications in patient care.By fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange between researchers and clinicians, Atherosclerosis aims to accelerate progress in the understanding, prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis, ultimately improving the lives of the millions of people affected by this pervasive disease.

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta: Molecular Basis of Disease

  • ISSN: 0925-4439
  • 5 Year impact factor: 5.5
  • Impact factor: 4.2
BBA Molecular Basis of Disease addresses the biochemistry and molecular genetics of disease processes and models of human disease. This journal covers aspects of aging, cancer, metabolic-, neurological-, and immunological-based disease. Manuscripts focused on using animal models to elucidate biochemical and mechanistic insight in each of these conditions, are particularly encouraged. Manuscripts should emphasize the underlying mechanisms of disease pathways and provide novel contributions to the understanding and/or treatment of these disorders. Highly descriptive and method development submissions may be declined without full review.Given the complex regulation of gene expression by a vast network of miRNA's, manuscripts describing the regulation of (disease-associated) genes by single miRNAs will only be considered if they provide genuine, novel insight in a disease mechanism. Further, studies restricted to a single cell line will not be considered unless they present truly novel insights.Please see our Guide for Authors for information on article submission.
