Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Skin is the largest organ in the human body and serves as the outermost layer in direct contact with the environment. Over the past few years, many studies have demonstrated the importance of active metabolic processes in the skin with associations between the dysregulation of metablic pathways and skin disorders, such as psoriasis, acne, androgenetic alopecia, atopic dermatitis, diabetic foot skin, and skin tumors.
Though metabolic processes play essential roles in the development and physiological/pathological function of skin, the underlying mechanisms are complex and are not yet well understood.
This Special Issue of metabolites aims to explore cutting-edge research related to metabolism and skin disorders. We welcome articles pertaining to the following topics: metablolic syndrome and skin disorders, metabolic pathways and skin functions, and metabolism in skin tumors and related topics and specific skin dissorders. We believe that this will bring together current knowledge about metabolism in relation to skin disorders, and help pave the way for the development of new therapies aimed at restoring healthy skin.
