Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Lipidomics has become a crucial field for understanding the diverse roles of lipids in health and disease across humans, animals, plants, and food systems. Current research focuses on characterizing lipid species, elucidating their metabolic pathways, and clarifying how lipid alterations influence physiological and pathological processes in organisms ranging from mammals to crops and microorganisms. In nutrition and food science, lipidomics reveals how dietary fats from plant and animal sources affect metabolism and health, while in agriculture it helps explain plant stress responses and crop quality.
Advances in analytical technologies now enable high-resolution lipid profiling in complex biological and food matrices, supporting the discovery of biomarkers for early diagnosis, food quality assessment, and personalized therapies. By providing insights into membrane structure, energy metabolism, and cell signaling, lipidomics plays an important role in nutrition, oncology, neurology, and metabolic disorders, as well as plant and animal sciences.
This Special Issue highlights current approaches in lipidomic analysis across diverse sample types, covering the full workflow—from sample preparation and extraction to advanced analytical systems and data processing. Emphasis is placed on innovative methodologies for qualitative and quantitative lipid analysis that define the current state of the art.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
