Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Homeostasis, the delicate balance that ensures an organism’s survival by regulating fundamental needs such as food, water, and warmth, profoundly influences behavior and physiology. An intricate network of complex and redundant circuits, both central and peripheral, orchestrates a complex “dance” to meet these survival instincts. Disruptions to those circuits can result in various disorders, affecting the proper functioning of cells, tissues, and organs. Our understanding of the neuronal, metabolic and cellular mechanisms orchestrating homeostasis is far from complete. Obtaining this knowledge will serve as the foundational step to preventing or treating health conditions arising from imbalances in these intricate systems (e.g., obesity).
In this Special Issue of the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, we eagerly invite researchers to submit both original research articles and review papers dedicated to advancing our understanding of the molecular underpinnings of homeostasis in health and unraveling how their disruption contributes to the onset of metabolic 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.
