Evaluation of the Properties and Effectiveness of Nutritional Factors Using In Vitro Assays, Including Cell Cultures and Organoids

Dear Colleagues,

The use of cell cultures and organoids enables a more detailed and mechanistic understanding of nutrient–cell interactions, allowing researchers to examine changes in gene expression, protein production, and enzyme activity in response to nutritional stimuli. Furthermore, in vitro models offer the advantage of high-throughput screening, allowing for the rapid evaluation of numerous compounds and concentrations to identify those with the most promising bioactivity. While in vitro results may not always perfectly translate to in vivo outcomes, they provide essential preliminary data for prioritizing and designing subsequent animal studies and human clinical trials, ultimately contributing to the development of evidence-based nutritional recommendations and targeted interventions

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. Cells is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
