Lipid Metabolism in Human Health and Diseases

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Lipid metabolism plays a central role in maintaining cellular homeostasis and energy balance, and its dysregulation is a hallmark of numerous human diseases. From cardiovascular disorders and kidney-liver health to neurodegenerative conditions and cancer, altered lipid handling contributes significantly to disease pathogenesis and progression.

This Topic aims to provide a comprehensive overview of current advances in understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms governing lipid metabolism in health and disease. Particular emphasis is placed on pathways regulating lipid synthesis, transport, storage, and degradation, as well as their integration with systemic metabolic networks. In addition to mechanistic insights, this issue seeks to highlight translational and clinical perspectives, including biomarker discovery, therapeutic targeting of lipid pathways, and precision medicine approaches.

We welcome original research and review articles exploring these themes and contributing to the advancement of this dynamic field.
