Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I am delighted to invite you to contribute an article to this new Special Issue of Nutrients, entitled “Metabolomics and Nutrition: From Bench to Bedside”, for which I serve as Guest Editor. This Special Issue is focused on the role of metabolomics, both targeted and untargeted high-resolution metabolomics, and health outcomes.
Metabolomics is the study of metabolites, the small molecules within cells, tissues, biofluids, organs, body systems, or whole organisms that function as a readout of the totality of exposures. They provide a detailed snapshot of biochemical activity and metabolic status in response to nutrients, environmental influences, and lifestyle factors. As a promising field at the intersection of systems biology and precision medicine, metabolomics offers insights into the complex biochemical processes that underpin health outcomes and disease states. Applications of metabolomics as a proxy of the internal exposome may include the following: understanding disease causality and mechanisms; biomarkers and diagnostic tools using blood samples or biological fluids; identifying exposure-related metabolite changes; therapeutic insights; and precision nutrition. This approach is pivotal to understanding the relationship between metabolic alterations and health outcomes, especially in the context of chronic diseases like cancer, diabetes, and metabolic disorders. All manuscripts addressing metabolomics and nutrition from mechanistic cell culture, animal model, and human studies are welcome to be submitted.

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. Nutrients is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2900 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.
