Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There is still a high rate of morbidity and mortality associated with acute kidney injury (AKI), making it a significant challenge around the globe. Increasing evidence suggests that mitochondrial dysfunction plays an important role in the pathogenesis of AKI, affecting mitochondrial energetics, oxidative stress, and programmed cell death. Novel therapeutic strategies and diagnostic biomarkers may be developed by understanding the molecular mechanisms linking mitochondrial impairment to AKI.
This Special Issue on "Acute Kidney Injury and Mitochondrial Involvement" gathers the most recent research and reviews on mitochondrial biology in relation to AKI. It is our pleasure to welcome contributions exploring mitochondrial dynamics, metabolic reprogramming, mitophagy, and targeted interventions related to mitochondrial dynamics in preclinical settings. Researchers are invited to share their insights in the form of both research and review articles to advance our knowledge and improve outcomes for patients with AKI.

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. Biomolecules 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 2700 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.
