Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metabolic changes occur before morphological changes, and metabolomics—a novel, evolving branch of metabolic measures—involves the simultaneous identification and quantification of many small metabolites using body fluids and tissues in a single experiment; thus, it has great potential for early disease diagnosis, treatment monitoring, and real-time observation of the mechanisms of pathogenesis in underlying diseases. This gives metabolomics an advantage over classical and conventional methods of detecting underlying diseases. Metabolomics encompasses two main methods: nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry (MS). Data analysis via these high-throughput methods, whereby innovative chemometric tactics are applied, provides a unique stage for pre-clinical, clinical, and translational research and its diagnostic uses. For this Special Issue of Diagnostics, titled "Metabolomics-Based Methods for Disease Diagnostics", we welcome contributions on topics ranging from pre-clinical models to clinical metabolomics-based methods, with the aim of advancing their clinical application. We invite authors to contribute novel research and review articles presenting state-of-the-art modalities and methodologies to identify, foresee, and analytically test for signature metabolites of underlying diseases.

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. Diagnostics 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 2600 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.
