Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, “Metabolic Disorders: Insights into Pathogenesis and Novel Therapeutic Strategies”, focuses on the complex interplay of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors driving metabolic diseases such as diabetes, obesity, metabolic syndrome, and rare hereditary conditions. This issue aims to explore advances in understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying these disorders, their connections with comorbidities like cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, and innovative therapeutic approaches, including pharmacological, dietary, and precision medicine strategies. Key areas of interest include the role of inflammation, gut microbiota, metabolomics, and other omics technologies in pathogenesis and diagnosis. This issue will also address public health strategies, the integration of digital health tools, and the socioeconomic impacts of metabolic disorders. We welcome submissions of original research, comprehensive reviews, and case reports that advance the understanding of metabolic diseases or propose novel interventions. Communications and short notes presenting new concepts, pilot studies, or preliminary findings are also encouraged. This Special Issue aims to foster a multidisciplinary dialogue to drive progress in managing and preventing metabolic disorders effectively.
