Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nutrition is one of the most important modifiable factors that can be targeted to promote health and reduce the risk of disease. A balanced diet ensures the proper concentration of macro- and micronutrients is maintained in the body, while their deficiencies or excesses are associated with various diseases, including obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, cancer, and immune disorders. Understanding the relationship between nutrient deficiencies and chronic diseases and the early detection of nutritional disorders is crucial for preventive and holistic health care. In this Special Issue, we seek contributions that go beyond general discussions of nutrition and provide state-of-the-art methodologies for studying the effects of nutrients on health. We especially encourage studies using omics technologies (metabolomics, nutrigenomics, and proteomics), molecular docking, bioinformatic approaches, clinical trials, and advanced biomarker analysis to elucidate nutrient interactions at the cellular and systemic levels. We welcome research that offers new insights into nutrient metabolism, molecular pathways, and precision nutritional strategies aimed at improving disease prevention and therapeutic approaches.

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.
