Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metabolism is a hallmark of life and underlies most biological processes in both health and disease. Since Otto H. Warburg discovered anomalous metabolism in cancer cells around 100 years ago, researchers have been addressing the implication of metabolism in various physiological and pathological scenarios. Innovative systems biology tools have revolutionized metabolic research and are currently providing us with an overwhelming amount of data and new insights, which need to be put together to form a bigger picture. Particularly, immune cell metabolism has attracted much attention in translational research over the past decade and suggests novel therapeutic strategies in various pathologic states.
This Special Issue intends to present to the scientific community new and current information on how metabolism regulates physiological and pathological conditions as well as provide an overview of current metabolic research. We welcome original research, reviews, and short reports on various aspects of metabolic regulation related to health and disease as well as technical reports.

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. Life 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 2600 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.
