Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Lipids play critical roles in numerous biological processes, ranging from cellular signaling and energy storage to membrane structure and function. Advances in lipidomics and our understanding of lipid metabolism continue to develop the complex regulation of lipid homeostasis in health and disease. This Special Issue highlights the latest research on lipid metabolism and lipidomics. We invite submissions of original research articles and reviews covering a range of topics related to lipids, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Lipid signaling pathways and networks;
- Lipid–protein interactions;
- Regulation of lipid synthesis, transport, and catabolism;
- Lipid metabolism in metabolic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease;
- Lipidomics technologies and analytical methods;
- Lipid biomarkers and therapeutic targets.
We look forward to receiving your contributions to this Special Issue.
Dr. Dimiter Avtanski
Guest Editor
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. 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.
