Pathometabolism: Understanding Disease Through Metabolism

Dear Colleagues,

This Topical Collection entitled “Pathometabolism: Understanding disease through metabolism” will collect high-quality research articles, perspectives, communications, and review articles describing metabolic alterations induced by human pathologies. We hope that your contributions will advance the field and lead to the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic regimens for human diseases. Since the Topical Collection aims to illustrate, through selected works, advancing research in cellular metabolism, we also encourage Editorial Board Members of the Cellular Metabolism Section of Cells to contribute feature papers reflecting the latest progress in their research field,  or to invite relevant experts and colleagues to submit papers.

We welcome manuscripts that emphasize phenotypic, biochemical, molecular features, and functional mechanisms through which cell or tissue metabolism influences or causes human pathologies. Relevant research topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Cancer Metabolism;
• Immunometabolism;
• Metabolic host pathogen interaction;
• Brain Metabolism;
• Metabolic human disorders
