Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Unlocking the secrets of adipose depots, where white, beige, and brown adipocytes play a vital role in our metabolic health, holds the key to a healthier future. These adipocytes perform a multitude of functions that impact our overall well-being, including energy storage, dissipation, and regulation, as well as hormone and appetite control. They even produce crucial substances called adipokines and batokines, influencing our body's intricate balance of glucose, lipid, insulin, and energy balance. Recognizing the significance of maintaining a harmonious interplay between adipocyte number and function, we are presented with an unprecedented opportunity to revolutionize the treatment of obesity and diabetes.
In this Special Issue, we invite you to delve into the realm of adipogenesis and explore the intricate mechanisms governing adipocyte function, stability, and maintenance. Together, we will examine research surrounding adipocyte precursor cells and examine the profound influence of peripheral metabolic tissues (liver, muscle, etc.), the adipose tissue microenvironment, including immune cells and adipokines, on adipose health. By shedding light on the interplay between adipose thermogenesis and inter-tissue communication, we welcome research looking into uncovering anti-obesity mechanisms
Please join us as we bring together cutting-edge research that enhances our understanding of adipose tissue.
Dr. Prashant Rajbhandari

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. 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.
