Molecular and Cellular Biology of Metabolic Diseases Due to Gender Differences

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to explore the molecular and cellular biology mechanisms of metabolic diseases, including but not limited to metabolic syndrome, diabetes, fatty liver, and obesity, as well as their relationship with cardiovascular diseases and with gender differences. The goal is to provide new insights and potential targets for the prevention, treatment, and management of metabolic and cardiovascular disorders by accounting for gender differences. Additionally, this Special Issue will investigate the relationships between metabolic and cardiovascular diseases, microbiota, gut barriers, and the immune system, as well as their roles in the onset and prevention of these disorders and how they are affected by gender differences.

Topics Covered:

• Cell signaling pathways and gene expression in metabolic diseases;
• Complications of metabolic diseases and their molecular biology features;
• Novel targets and therapies for metabolic diseases;
• Relationship between gut microbiota, gut barriers, and metabolic diseases;
• Interplay between the immune system and metabolic diseases;
• Molecular and cellular biology mechanisms of cardiovascular diseases.

Conclusion: This Special Issue provides a comprehensive analysis of recent developments for exploring the molecular and cellular biology mechanisms of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases by accounting for gender differences. It will serve as an authoritative reference for researchers and clinicians in the field. We welcome submissions of original research articles, reviews, and communications that explore the topic of the molecular and cellular biology of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases due to gender differences for publication and discussion.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
