Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Clinical biomarkers, measurable molecular indicators found in biological samples, are now extensively utilized for early detection of disease, prediction of patient prognosis, and assessment of therapeutic efficacy in various diseases. Metabolomics, an increasingly powerful and high-throughput analytical technique, is capable of comprehensive profiling of endogenous metabolites under physiological and pathological states, thereby facilitating the identification and validation of novel metabolite biomarkers. These biomarkers hold significant promise for enhancing disease diagnosis and subtyping, evaluating treatment response and resistance mechanisms, uncovering therapeutic targets, and ultimately advancing personalized medicine through metabolic phenotyping. Fueled by continuous advancements in analytical techniques, computational power for data analysis, and metabolite annotation databases, modern metabolomics can provide valid prediction of disease onset and progression, guide optimal drug selection and dosage, monitor therapeutic interventions, and contribute to the development of strategies aimed at improving patient therapeutic outcomes and survival rates.
This Special Issue aims to cover progress in the methodology of metabolomics, including sample preparation, data acquisition or data processing for the study of clinical biomarkers, and application in biomarker discovery in different diseases.

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.
