Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The skin is a protective organ with high metabolic activity. The defense against environmental stressors, the maintenance and regeneration of the skin barrier, and the growth of hair and other skin appendages require energy and significant turnover of cellular constituents in normal skin. Alterations of the metabolic reactions are associated with skin diseases and aging. The application of new methods in molecular biology and biochemistry has significantly advanced our understanding of skin metabolism at the cellular level. Yet, many open questions remain, and the ongoing research in this field continues to provide new insights.
The Special Issue on the “Metabolism of Skin Cells” provides an open access platform for sharing new insights and discussing innovative concepts related to metabolic processes in all cell types of the skin. We invite submissions of original research articles and reviews. Topics of particular interest include the metabolic control of cell functions and differentiation, synthesis and degradation of cell constituents, metabolomics of the skin and skin cells, metabolism of topical drugs, effects of cosmetics and skin care on the metabolism of the skin, aging-associated changes in the metabolism, metabolic alterations in skin diseases, and the genetic control of the skin metabolism.

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 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-anonymized 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.
