Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metabolomics, i.e., the concise analysis of products of cellular metabolism, has emerged as an important way to analyze cellular functions under both physiological and pathogenic conditions. Metabolic analysis provides an overview of the functional physiological state of the cell and gives insights into malfunctions or alterations upon diseases. Thus, understanding the fine tuning of metabolism and the networks of molecules involved in this process will be a major task in the future.
In this Special Issue, we are interested in both exhaustive and specific reviews and original articles that address all aspects of this important topic. This Special Issue shall focus on various features of metabolomics, including metabolomics in cancer and other diseases, methodological issues and improvements, as well as characterization of metabolic processes in physiological processes. We hope that this intriguing topic will attract a large number of contributions from both basic and clinical scientists.
