The “Cellular Biochemistry” Section of Biomolecules (ISSN: 2218-273X) provides insight into the roles of specific biochemical pathways and processes in inherited and acquired diseases.

Following the kind recommendation of the Section Editor-in-chief, Prof. Dr. Anna Rita Franco Migliaccio, we selected some interesting work published in this Section on cellular biochemistry. We would like to thank all of our authors' contributions and hope they can continue to contribute their interesting work to the journal.
