Epigenetic Mechanisms in Diabetes Research

Dear Colleagues,

The rising global epidemic of obesity, cardiovascular disease and diabetes underscores the current challenge of characterizing the metabolically responsive epigenome. Recent studies investigating the molecular mechanisms linking fat and glucose metabolism with the epigenome highlight important regulatory determinants that underpin the expression of genes implicated in disease yet remain poorly understood. Epigenomes is now accepting submissions for a collection on "Epigenetic Mechanisms in Diabetes Research". This Topical Collection is edited by Professor Sam El-Osta from Monash University and will accept original research results and reviews, as well as special interest topics related to methods and resources of exceptional interest on topics related to metabolic regulation by epigenetic mechanisms in health and disease. You can find all the information related to the new Topical Collection at the following link: http://www.mdpi.com/journal/epigenomes/special_issues/diabetes.

We kindly invite you to submit your unpublished work to this Epigenomes Topical Collection, "Epigenetic Mechanisms in Diabetes Research".

I do hope you will join me in this Topical Collection.

Prof. Dr. Assam El-Osta
Collection Editor

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. 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 collection website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Epigenomes is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1600 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.
