Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Skeletal muscles are used for locomotion and other physical tasks and are able to produce myokines by functioning as an endocrine organ. Moreover, skeletal muscle can regulate the metabolism of the entire body. The structure, properties, and volume of skeletal muscles are related to human health, longevity, and quality of life. Currently, skeletal muscle metabolism is an important area of research because of its profound implications on human health and disease. Research in this area includes exploring the molecular mechanisms that regulate muscle homeostasis, the role of muscle metabolism on human health, and adaptations of muscle tissue in response to exercise and nutritional interventions. Areas of interest in this Special Issue include the identification and function of metabolic pathways, the impact of genetic and epigenetic factors, and the interaction between muscle and other tissues. In this Special Issue, we look forward to original research and reviews that highlight recent advances in research in muscle metabolism from both physiological and pathophysiological perspectives.

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. Biomedicines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.
