Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Lifestyle factors, including diet, physical activity, sleep, stress management, and environmental exposures, are key modulators of health across the human lifespan. These elements influence biomolecular pathways that underlie physiological adaptation, disease susceptibility, and healthy aging. In particular, molecular regulators such as microRNAs play an important role in mediating the effects of lifestyle on gene expression, inflammation, metabolism, and cellular function. Dysregulation of these pathways is closely linked to the onset and progression of major chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, neurodegenerative disorders, and cancer.
This Special Issue aims to gather high-quality research and reviews on how lifestyle factors shape biomolecular profiles with a particular emphasis on disease-related mechanisms. We especially welcome studies addressing the role of microRNAs, hormonal regulation, and other molecular mediators that connect lifestyle with health outcomes across different stages of life. Submissions may include experimental studies, preclinical investigations, and integrative reviews.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
