Gut Microbiota and Regulation of Metabolism

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue aims to explore the intricate relationship between the gut microbiota and metabolic processes, shedding light on the profound implications for human health and disease. Recent research has unveiled the pivotal role played by the gut microbiome in modulating host metabolism, influencing nutrient absorption, energy homeostasis, immune response and even contributing to the development of metabolic disorders.

This Special Issue invites authors to contribute original research articles and reviews that delve into the molecular mechanisms underpinning the crosstalk between gut microbes and host metabolism. Topics of interest include microbial metabolites, host–microbiota interactions and the impact on diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, colon cancer, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Additionally, we encourage submissions that explore therapeutic interventions targeting the gut microbiota to regulate metabolism.

By fostering a comprehensive understanding of these complex interactions, this Special Issue seeks to advance the field and provide valuable insights for researchers, clinicians and policymakers. Authors are encouraged to contribute cutting-edge research that elucidates the role of the gut microbiota in metabolic regulation and opens new avenues for personalized approaches to enhance human health.

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.
