Metabolomic Signatures in Cancer

Dear Colleagues,

Metabolomics has emerged as a pivotal field in cancer research, offering unprecedented insights into the altered metabolic pathways that drive oncogenesis, progression, and treatment response. This Special Issue of Metabolites, "Metabolomic Signatures in Cancer," seeks to compile high-quality original research and comprehensive review articles that explore the discovery and validation of novel metabolic biomarkers. We welcome contributions that utilize cutting-edge analytical platforms (e.g., MS, NMR) to characterize metabolic reprogramming in various cancers, investigate the tumor microenvironment, and explore the integration of metabolomics with other omics data for a holistic understanding of cancer biology. Studies focusing on the translational potential of metabolomic signatures for early detection, prognosis, and monitoring therapeutic efficacy are particularly encouraged. This collection aims to highlight the critical role of metabolomics in advancing personalized cancer medicine and improving patient outcomes.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Metabolites is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.
