Cardiovascular Immunometabolism

Dear Colleagues,

The immune and metabolic systems are known to be intricately connected at both the cellular and systemic levels. Metabolic dysregulations associated with cardiovascular diseases can lead to rewiring of immune responses and tissue homeostatic mechanisms that promote disease. This crosstalk has been shown to reprogram immune cell function in the setting of atherosclerotic vascular disease, heart failure, myocarditis, heart transplant rejection, as well as conditions that increase cardiovascular disease risk, such as obesity and type II diabetes. Unraveling the complex networks of metabolism and inflammation in cardiovascular diseases offers substantial therapeutic promise, but advances toward this goal will require further understanding of the multi-level interactions between the metabolic and immune systems, the distinct metabolic alterations in the major immune cells that accompany disease, and key metabolites and their receptors amenable to targeting. This special issue of Immunometabolism aims to provide a series of articles covering all aspects of how immunometabolism impacts upon cardiovascular diseases and their co-morbidities, and how it may be manipulated for therapeutic benefit. We welcome submissions of both original research articles and topical reviews related to this subject.

Online Submission

Manuscripts should be submitted online through Hapres Online Submission System. Please visit Guide for Authors before submitting a manuscript. Authors are encouraged to submit a paper as soon as it is ready and don’t need to wait until the deadline. Submissions will be sent to peer-review in order of arrival. Accepted papers will be published continuously in Immunometabolism and then gathered together on the special issue webpage. We welcome Research articles, Review papers and Short Communications. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
