Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Dietary lipids play a fundamental role in immune regulation and inflammation by modulating immune cell differentiation, signaling pathways, and the onset or progression of inflammatory diseases. Their impact extends to gut microbiota modulation, recovery from exercise-induced injuries, neuroinflammation control, and disease management.
Long-chain fatty acids integrate into cell membrane phospholipids, altering membrane rafts and influencing inflammatory responses. Additionally, variations in lipid composition across different tissues are associated with dermatological conditions and impaired wound healing, emphasizing the complexity of lipid-mediated effects on health. With multi-biological functions, impaired phospholipid supply, either through impaired metabolism or dietary deficiency, has been linked to the pathogenesis of various diseases.
Epidemiological studies underscore both the protective and detrimental effects of lipid intake on disease incidence, reinforcing the need for further research. We invite researchers to submit original studies exploring the mechanisms by which dietary lipids influence immunity and inflammation, paving the way for innovative therapeutic strategies. We welcome your valuable contributions to advancing research in this 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. Nutrients is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
