Cell Death and Cancer Metabolism

Dear Colleagues,

In the course of exploring the field of life sciences, the interaction between cancer and metabolism is particularly important and at the forefront of research. Our upcoming Special Issue looks at the mechanisms by which tumors adjust their metabolic networks to support growth, spread, and avoid death, providing new insights into cancer development, progression, and treatment strategies. Cancer cells reshape metabolic pathways to meet their need for energy and biosynthetic precursors, which is not only key to their survival but also opens up new avenues for treatment. With a deeper understanding of these metabolic regulations and their role in cancer development, new areas of research and treatment possibilities are emerging.

This Special Issue of Metabolites will delve into tumor-related metabolic changes and their importance in cancer occurrence, progression, and treatment. Given that the interaction between tumors and metabolism occupies a crucial place in research, we invite colleagues working on how tumors adapt and promote their growth by altering metabolic pathways to contribute. In addition, we will explore the possibility of metabolic targeting strategies against cancer and how metabolic biomarkers can be used to monitor treatment progress.

The Special Issue is also open to research submissions from the field of epidemiology, especially those that reveal the relationship between metabolic factors and cancer risk. With the development of new measurement techniques, bioinformatics tools, and data analysis methods, we are interested in innovative work in these areas.

By focusing on the interaction between cancer and metabolism, we expect this Special Issue to promote a deeper understanding of cancer metabolic pathways and inspire new treatment strategies to effectively address this global health challenge.

Your participation and contribution are highly appreciated.

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. Metabolites 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 2700 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.
