Micronutrients are essential components of diet. They are typically divided into four groups: water-soluble vitamins, fat-soluble vitamins, macrominerals, and microminerals or trace elements. A lack or imbalance of these components can impact human health at different levels. Awareness of how diet can affect human health is increasing, but more research is needed to understand how dietary components interact with each other and how to balance these elements in different situations.

We encourage the submission of manuscripts that provide novel and mechanistic insights on the role of micronutrients either in human health, in specific circumstances (e.g., gestation, infancy, senescence), or during pathological processes. Relevant epidemiological data and research focusing on animal models and on appropriate “in vitro” approaches are also welcome.

• A proposed submission deadline (a Special Issue will usually be open for submissions for 6–8 months);
• A list of at least 20 potential contributors, or a list of 8 planned papers.

Nutrition plays a crucial role in health throughout the life span and can meaningfully contribute to the health status later in life. There is a growing scientific and clinical interest in the role of nutritional factors as determinants of the aging process, with them being the key contributor to longevity and the prevention and treatment of the chronic diseases most frequently observed in old age.

The Section “Geriatric Nutrition” aims to publish high-quality scientific contributions providing novel insights into the impact of nutrition on the aging process, longevity, and on all aspects of the physical, mental, and emotional health, social issues, and wellbeing of human aging. The Section “Geriatric Nutrition” also includes high-quality scientific contributions on in vitro and animal studies investigating the link between nutrition and aging, as well as age-associated diseases.

In recent decades, diabetes incidence has grown from around 3.5% of the adult population in Europe to around 10%. Underlying fat storage (adiposity) has become the most prevalent metabolic disorder worldwide. Taken together with hyperlipidemia and hypertension, they are the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, cancer, and numerous other complications. In recent years, our knowledge of diabetes and adiposity, often called “diabesity”, has greatly improved, but more research is needed to better understand the mechanisms underlying the development of this metabolic condition and its diagnosis and pathophysiology, as well as optimize its management.

We welcome original research articles describing basic, clinical, and applied studies representing novel and significant advances in all areas relevant to Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes and related disorders, as well as reviews. The areas of research covered by this Section relate to all aspects of diabetes diagnosis, pathophysiology, and treatment.

We are pleased to share with you the good news that Nutrients has announced a Special Issue entitled “Advances in Nutrition: Opportunities and Challenges in 2022”. Prof. Dr. Philip J. Atherton, Prof. Dr. Ina Bergheim, Prof. Dr. M. Luisa Bonet, Prof. Dr. David C. Nieman and Dr. Francisco J. Pérez-Cano are serving as the Guest Editors. The submission deadline is 31 March 2022.

This Special Issue will focus on the aspects of nutrition and nutritional sciences that are already at the center of current concerns, and which may help humans to face the social and health scenarios that are envisaged in the years to come.

Many aspects of how food and diet can improve individual health, performance and wellbeing remain to be discovered. The exact composition and nutrient availability of diets (food types, preparation and combinations, etc.), as well as the characteristics of individuals (genetics, microbiome, physiological or pathophysiological status, age, etc.) and the environment that surrounds them should be known.

Thus, this Special Issue will consider original articles, commentaries, and review articles that focus on the following potential topics (but not limited to these):

• Sustainable protein sources and impacts of alternative protein sources;
• Food, dietary pattern, and health;
• Food, dietary pattern, and cognitive function;
• Application of post-genomic technologies to the innovative investigation of nutritional questions and mechanisms of nutrient action, including biomarkers of nutrition and health and precision nutrition;
• Diet and exercise interactions at young and old age and their impact on health and performance;
• Impact and mechanisms underlying the relationship between nutrition, immunity, and infection.

This Special Issue is the first issue of Nutrients’ New Year Special Issue Series. The series reflects on the achievements, scientific progress, and “hot topics” of the previous year in the journal. Submissions of articles whose lead authors are Board Members are highly encouraged. However, we welcome articles from all authors.

For more information on this Special Issue and submission guidelines, please visit the following page: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/nutrients/special_issues/Advances_in_Nutrition.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Editorial Office (nutrients@mdpi.com).
