Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) are a diverse group of genetic conditions that disrupt normal metabolic processes, leading to severe and often life-threatening health issues. Recent advancements in molecular biology, genetics, and biotechnology have revolutionized our understanding of these disorders, paving the way for novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest research and emerging trends in the study of IMDs.
We invite original research articles, reviews, and case studies that explore innovative approaches to understanding the molecular and genetic bases of IMDs, including new insights into disease mechanisms and pathways. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the development and application of advanced model systems (such as genetically modified mouse models and patient-derived organoids), gene therapy techniques, and cutting-edge diagnostic tools. Additionally, studies investigating the interplay between metabolic disorders and other conditions, such as cancer, and the exploration of potential biomarkers for early detection and prognosis are highly encouraged.
By bringing together contributions from leading experts in the field, this Special Issue seeks to foster a deeper understanding of IMDs, highlight groundbreaking research, and promote the development of effective treatments that can improve patient outcomes.

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.
