Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metabolic diseases, including diabetes and obesity, represent a growing global health challenge, particularly as populations age due to lower birth rates and increased life expectancy in Western society. These conditions are closely linked to age-related physiological changes and altered cell signaling pathways, making their prevention and management increasingly complex. Understanding the molecular mechanisms, genetic and epigenetic factors, and pathophysiology underlying these disorders is essential in developing innovative interventions to promote healthy aging.
This Special Issue will present cutting-edge research on metabolic and age-related diseases, focusing on diabetes and obesity and their interplay with the aging process. To align with the journal’s scope, contributions may include studies on pathogenesis and disease mechanisms, molecular and cell signaling pathways, biomarkers for early diagnosis, pharmacological therapies, redox-related mechanisms, biopharmaceutical approaches, or microbiome interventions. This Special Issue will bring together high-quality preclinical and clinical results to advance our understanding of metabolic disorders and aging, with the aim of ultimately informing new therapies or precision medicine strategies to improve the healthspan and patient outcomes.
Original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include, but are not limited to, molecular mechanisms, cell signaling, genetic and epigenetic regulation, biomarkers, pharmacological therapies, and precision medicine.
We look forward to receiving your submissions.

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. Biomedicines 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 2600 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.
