Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is a continuation of our previous Special Issue “The Role of Lipids in Health and Diseases”.
Lipids are vital components of cell membranes and serve as crucial energy sources. Beyond these foundational roles, they are integral to numerous physiological and pathophysiological processes. Lipids act as signaling molecules in inflammation and immune responses, and they are involved in key cellular functions such as division, growth, migration, and apoptosis. Our understanding of how different lipid types influence health and disease is rapidly expanding. This Special Issue of IJMS will showcase the latest research on lipid functions in both health and disease, with a focus on the molecular mechanisms underlying their effects. We welcome articles that explore the physiological and pathophysiological roles of lipids in conditions such as cardiovascular disease, neurological disease, metabolic disease, cancer, aging, inflammation, immunity, etc. We invite submissions of both original research and review articles.
Dr. Yutang Wang
Guest Editor
