Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dyslipidemia has long been recognized as a key contributor to cardiometabolic diseases such as atherosclerosis, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease. Its role is also increasingly acknowledged in other chronic diseases, including malignancies. Furthermore, dyslipidemia is an inevitable component of certain physiological states, such as pregnancy.
Although many clinical and laboratory aspects of dyslipidemia have been well explored, significant gaps remain in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying lipid dysregulation. In this Special Issue, we invite original research articles and reviews focusing on the metabolism and function of specific lipid moieties. We particularly welcome studies that investigate the molecular mechanisms driving lipid synthesis, transport, and degradation, as well as the roles of key regulatory genes and epigenetic factors in maintaining lipid homeostasis. Studies employing advanced methodologies, including lipidomics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics, are especially encouraged.
With this Special Issue, we aim to improve the understanding of the molecular basis of dyslipidemia and identify potential novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets for the personalized approach to the prevention and management of dyslipidemia-associated diseases.
We look forward to your valuable contributions.

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 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. 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.
