Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cellular metabolism is an essential part of the functioning of all organisms, from unicellular to complex organisms, and is especially relevant in a being as complex as the human body. A better understanding of how cellular metabolism is regulated under normal and pathological physiological conditions is having a great impact on our ability to understand the mechanisms that regulate and master health and disease.
Recent evidence is revealing the impact of the modulation of metabolism in the onset of human diseases. The investigation of metabolic disorders now constitutes a fundamental piece in the design of new strategies for personalized precision medicine. The notable effects of the deregulation of cell metabolism have begun to be seen in two aspects of great health impact—cancer and chronic and acute diseases derived from altered functioning of the inflammatory machinery. Within the general cellular metabolism, pathways specifically related to phospholipid metabolism occupy a prominent place.
This Special Issue intends to analyze important aspects of the relationship between the regulation of phospholipid metabolism and the development of diseases such as cancer and those related to inflammatory processes. The search for new therapeutic strategies will be also covered.
