Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Lipids affect energy consumption, membrane fluidity, and cellular signaling, playing a vital part in mitochondrial activity. Emphasizing lipid transport mechanisms between organelle membranes, lipid peroxidation, and ramifications for mitochondrial integrity, this Special Issue investigates current developments in the molecular biology of lipids and mitochondria. Polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially EPA and DHA, are under special focus due to their effects on mitochondrial health, oxidative stress, and bioenergetics. We also look at lipid-driven metabolic changes and mitochondrial phospholipid remodeling and how these can affect aging and illness. This work intends to offer fresh perspectives on how lipid homeostasis controls mitochondrial function and cellular resilience by including modern studies on lipid-mitochondria interactions, therefore opening directions for therapeutic interventions in metabolic and neurodegenerative diseases.

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.
