Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is a continuation of our previous Special Issues "The Twist and Turn of Lipids in Human Diseases" (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/ijms/special_issues/lipids_hum_dis).
Lipids are vital for running several cellular and metabolic functions. However, excess tissue accumulation and/or reaction to immune and neurological cells trigger visceral and brain-immune inflammation. This leads to tissue damage and organ failure in many inflammatory conditions, including atherosclerosis, diabetes, fatty liver, allergy, asthma, autoimmune, neurodegenerative, and lysosomal storage sicknesses, e.g., Gaucher, Fabry, Tay-Sachs, Sandhoff, Niemann-Pick, Farbar, Krabbe, Metachromatic Leukodystrophy, and the Women, disorders. An adequate understanding of the battle between lipids and the immune system, which processes the tissue inflammation in indicated disorders, still eludes the medical community. Hence, the current research topics will seek to better understand the lipid-mediated biological processes that drive tissue damage and organ failure in human diseases. The outcome of these studies may also open new avenues for disease interventions.
