Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to explore the complex and dynamic interactions between environmental exposures and lifestyle factors, as well as their cumulative impact on organ health. We welcome submissions of original research and review articles that investigate how variables such as diet, physical activity, pollutants, and epigenetic factors influence the physiological and pathological responses of organs and systems.
This Special Issue seeks to highlight interdisciplinary approaches—ranging from molecular and cellular biology to population-based studies—that uncover the mechanisms underlying chronic diseases, organ dysfunction, and adaptive responses. Contributions focusing on prevention strategies, non-pharmacological interventions, and health-promoting behaviors in the context of environmental and lifestyle interactions are particularly encouraged.
