Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mitochondria have been under the scrutiny of scientists for over a century, yet new insights into their biology remain at least as fascinating as when their research began. This never-ending progress in understanding their function is largely driven by innovative methodological approaches. The advent of high-resolution microscopy and volume electron microscopy has enabled fascinating studies of mitochondrial dynamic ultrastructure, their interactions with other organelles, as well as the study of processes involved in mitochondrial quality maintenance. Likewise, research of bioenergetics and respiratory chain, often perceived as a more traditional branch in mitochondrial research, profits from methodological advances. A better knowledge of processes involved in the regulation of cellular bioenergetics and their spatial compartmentalization significantly improves our understanding of the complex role of mitochondria within both cellular and whole-organism physiology.
This Special Issue aims to collect original research articles and full review papers dealing with all aspects of mitochondrial biology. Contributions related to, but not limited to, mitochondrial morphology, cristae, mitochondrial nucleoids, interactions with other organelles, and quality maintenance are welcomed. Papers covering new aspects of mitochondrial bioenergetics will also be considered.

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.
