Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Aging itself is a risk factor for metabolic syndrome and vice versa. Those two risk factors share close relationships and are directly related to the quality of life. In particular, a functional decline in the musculoskeletal system related to physical movement is an important factor that degrades the quality of life. Therefore, the recent global aging trend and the worldwide increase in the obese population are making it difficult to maintain the homeostasis of the musculoskeletal system of many individuals, and interest in this is increasing daily. This Special Issue aims to provide readers with important molecular biological insights into the adverse effects of metabolic syndrome and aging on the musculoskeletal system and how to improve them.
As the Guest Editors of “Effects of Metabolic Syndrome and Aging on Metabolic Changes in the Musculoskeletal System”, we invite you to submit your manuscript to Current Issues in Molecular Biology. We welcome experimental research, systematic review and meta-analyses, and narrative reviews related to this topic.

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. Current Issues in Molecular Biology is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
