Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The term adipose tissue is now considered reductive. Instead, we now speak of the adipose organ; this is because it is subject to pathological conditions that limit its functioning and consequently influence the entire organism. We are increasingly seeing how there is a dense network between the adipose organ and all the other organs, the skeletal and cardiac muscles in particular, but also the central nervous system. For this reason, it is essential to understand how this complex interconnection is operated and how it can be influenced by nutrition, food supplements, lifestyle, and drugs. Finally, it would be worth considering the epigenetic features that the adipose organ could have, for example, through miRNA, and the role it plays in the regulation of physiology and pathophysiology.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
