Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It has been long accepted that the onset of disorders is the result of an interaction between a genetic predisposition and the environment, encompassing dietary regimen and lifestyle. However, the underlying mechanisms are still subjects of intense research. In more recent years, there has been mounting evidence pointing to a major role of the gut microbiota and its reciprocal relationship with macro- and micronutrients, in the modulation of diseases such as obesity, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis, and vasculopathies. With the above paradigm in mind, innovative and constantly evolving technologies in the fields of genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and microbiomics have the potential of uncovering complex interactions between host, nutrients, and microbiota. The information collected in this Special Issue, when applied, should contribute to the improvement of dietary protocols both as preventive and curative measures.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
