Nutrients | Special Issue “Advances in Nutrition: Opportunities and Challenges in 2022”—Open for Submission

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.
