Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent molecular advances in endocrine and metabolic diseases underscore the importance of integrative, systems-level approaches that unite metabolomics, fluxomics, and systems biology. These methods provide insight into the reprogramming of metabolic pathways in conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and hormone-related disorders while revealing novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets for precision medicine. Advances in thyroid hormonebiology include tissue- and receptor-selective compounds designed to treat fatty liver disease and dyslipidemia with improved safety profiles. Organoid technologies derived from endocrine tissues enable more accurate disease modeling, refined analysis of molecular pathogenesis, and progress toward regenerative, cell-based interventions. Investigations into metabolic syndrome highlight the interconnected roles of diet, inflammation, adipose tissue dysfunction, the gut microbiome, and epigenetic mechanisms in driving cardiovascular and endocrine risk. Collectively, these developments are shaping innovative therapeutic strategies. This Special Issue aims to bring together cutting-edge research that translates molecular discoveries into clinical advances.

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.
