Applications of Mass Spectrometry-Based Methods to Explore the Impact of Circadian Rhythms on Disease

Dear Colleagues,

The circadian clock is a molecular endogenous timekeeping system that allows organisms to adjust their physiology and behavior to geophysical time. Mass spectrometry (MS) is now regarded as a universal tool with high sensitivity for any possible applications. Understanding the circadian regulation of molecular processes through MS-based methods is crucial for unraveling the complex interactions between circadian rhythms and diseases, ultimately leading to the development of targeted therapeutic interventions. Therefore, we welcome the submission of full-length research articles, review articles, and short communications covering the following topics of interest for this Special Issue, titled “Applications of Mass Spectrometry-Based Methods to Explore the Impact of Circadian Rhythms on Disease”:

• Mass spectrometry-based absolute quantification reveals rhythmic variation in circadian clock lipids, proteins, and metabolites.
• Multiomics approach to study the potential biomarkers in circadian rhythm using mass spectrometry.
• Recent advances in on-site mass spectrometry analysis for clinical applications.
• New method development in mass spectrometry to explore the impact of circadian rhythm on disease.
• Mass spectrometry studies to study the circadian variations in drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics.

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. Biomedicines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.
