Molecular Pharmacology of Human Metabolism Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

Metabolic diseases are gaining more and more attention due to the widespread occurrence of obesity leading to acquired lipid and glucose metabolism abnormalities, thus resulting in elevated cardiovascular risk. However, it is crucial to note that there are also severe but less common metabolic diseases resulting from specific mutations (e.g., storage disorders) that lead to disabilities. Great improvements in molecular diagnostics have enabled researchers to pinpoint pathological pathways involved in the pathogenesis of the disease. In some cases, it has led to the introduction of therapeutic measures, but many still need to be addressed.

Therefore, this Special Issue focuses on the exploration of the pathophysiological background of both common and rare metabolic disease. Novel data, including research papers as well as review articles, on potential therapeutic targets, experimental therapeutic approaches and clinical experience with novel drugs are welcome.

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.
