Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Aberrant lipid metabolism has been identified in many human cancers and this raises the hope that the underlying metabolic enzymes may constitute novel and effective targets for cancer therapy. This Special Issue of Metabolites will focus on lipid metabolism in cancers and will include review and primary research articles on this topic. We invite the submission of manuscripts that tackle questions in biosynthesis, remodelling, uptake and oxidation of lipids, as well as lipid signalling, oxidative damage of lipids and lipid-protein interactions, both in cancer cells and other cell types within the tumour microenvironment. Many recent developments in the field of lipids and cancer have been enabled through the use of advanced technologies such as mass spectrometric profiling/measurement of lipids and high-content genetic and pharmacological screening. Therefore, manuscripts that address technological developments or perspectives in this area are also particularly welcomed. We hope to assemble a collection of interesting and thought-provoking articles that will inform future research directions and highlight the importance of lipid metabolism in cancers.

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. 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.
