Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Given the success of the previous Special Issue, titled "Mineral Nutrition on Human Health and Disease", we are pleased to announce that we are launching a second Special Issue on this topic, titled “Mineral Nutrition on Human Health and Disease—2nd Edition”. This Issue will focus on studies describing the role of mineral nutrition and status in the maintenance of human health and in the etiology, management, and prevention of common chronic diseases impacting large proportions of the population. Diseases of particular interest include anemia, cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis, cardiovascular, and hypertension. Studies may include any aspect of the role of mineral nutrients that are essential to humans and the interplay between mineral nutrition and disease. Study models may include animal, human, or other pertinent approaches and may also include in vivo and in vitro approaches aimed at better understanding how changes in mineral bioavailability, metabolism, or physicochemical properties influence disease.
The aim of this Special Issue is to present novel findings in the field of mineral nutrition, focusing on optimizing human health and understanding the role of minerals in human disease. We welcome original research and reviews of the literature concerning this important topic.
