Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is a sequel of the previous IJMS issues “Molecular System Bioenergetics” and “Quantitative Modeling in Molecular System Bioenergetics”.
The purpose of the present Issue is to describe and discuss the advanced research in the field of the Molecular System Bioenergetics including experimental and computational studies. Special interest has been focused on the dynamic organization of metabolic networks, their functioning in the tight interaction with intracellular elements (mitochondria-cytoskeleton-myofibrils- membranes) and the role of mitochondrial dynamics (fusion/fission) for cellular metabolism. Other highly important subject of discussion is molecular mechanisms of the energy metabolism regulation including experimental studies such as Metabolic Control Analyses, metabolome’s studies and mathematical modeling. Papers on application of this integrative approach for the analysis of the energy metabolism of biological systems at different degree of their complexity (cells, tissue, organs) in health and pathology (including oxidative stress, apoptosis, etc) will be welcome. This Systems Biology approach will be increasingly important for studies of both biological and medical problems.
