Lipid Homeostasis: Mechanisms, Regulation, and Implications for Health and Disease

Dear Colleagues,

Lipid homeostasis is fundamental to cellular function, energy storage, and membrane dynamics, impacting a wide range of physiological processes and disease states. This Special Issue seeks contributions that explore recent advances in lipid metabolism, regulatory pathways, and lipid-related cellular functions. We welcome studies on lipid synthesis and degradation, lipid transport and signaling, the role of lipids in metabolic diseases, and mechanisms underlying lipid balance in response to environmental and genetic factors. Submissions may include original research, reviews, and perspectives on the molecular regulation of lipid homeostasis, lipid–protein interactions, lipidomics, and emerging therapeutic approaches targeting lipid imbalances in metabolic disorders. By bringing together diverse insights, this Issue aims to advance our understanding of lipid homeostasis and inspire new strategies for disease prevention and treatment.

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.
