Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mitochondria play a crucial role in energy production, metabolism, and signaling to maintain cellular homeostasis and development. Mitochondrial dysfunction is linked to the pathogenesis and progression of human diseases such as cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and cardiovascular diseases. Much work has been done to elucidate the impact of mitochondrial dysfunction in human diseases. However, the precise mitochondrial-associated metabolic and molecular processes in disease progression remain comparatively unknown. Therefore, the function of mitochondrial metabolism and biology in human diseases needs further study.
Advances in model organisms, biochemical techniques, systems biology, and omics technologies allow in-depth elucidation concerning precise mechanisms of human diseases and provide new therapeutic targets. This special issue is dedicated to features recent advances in mitochondrial metabolism and biology in human diseases. We will consider the original research article, concept paper, short communications, and review on all aspects of mitochondria-associated human diseases. We hope this special issue could contribute to advance of this fascinating field.

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. Metabolites 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 2700 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.
