Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Omics technologies are becoming increasingly popular for molecular research and human health assessment. Mass spectrometry (MS) coupled with separation techniques such as electrophoresis/chromatography/ion mobility is the main tool in omics studies (proteomics, metabolomics) and is the most powerful approach for clinical research which ensures reliable identification and discovery of new molecules and potential biomarkers. Overcoming many of its initial challenges related to sampling and MS analysis the new advanced methods for molecular profiling are constantly developed which has a great potential for translation to medical diagnostics. Thousands of new potential and candidate biomarkers were discovered in human body fluids (blood, urine, CSF, etc.), many of which are relevant to the specific clinician syndromes and pathologies.

Over the past few years, omics technologies have made many advances, especially in combination with Artificial intelligence (AI) and Machine learning (ML) approaches for assessing health states and combating new challenges and diseases such as COVID-19.

The current issue is focused on advanced mass spectrometry-based omics technologies in combination with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) approaches for assessing health state and new potential biomarkers discovery for diseases such as Alzheimer’s, cardiovascular diseases (CVD), breast cancer, chronic kidney diseases (CKD), COVID-19 and others. Other frontend non-MS omics technologies applicable for online/offline analysis of body fluids and their molecular profiling for clinical applications are also of interest.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.

The COVID-19 pandemic has raised questions about indirect impact in pregnant women on the development of their future children. Investigating the characteristics of lipid metabolism in the “mother–placenta–fetus” system can give information about the pathophysiology of COVID-19 infection during pregnancy. A total of 234 women were included in study. Maternal plasma, cord blood, and amniotic fluid lipidome were analyzed using HPLC-MS/MS. Differences in lipid profile were searched by Mann–Whitney and Kruskall–Wallis test, and diagnostic model based on logistic regression were built by AIC. Elevated levels of lysophospholipids, triglycerides, sphingomyelins, and oxidized lipids were registered in patients’ maternal and cord plasma after COVID-19 infection. An increase in maternal plasma sphingomyelins and oxidized lipids was observed in cases of infection during the second trimester. In amniotic fluid, compared to the control group, nine lipids were reduced and six were elevated. Levels of phosphoglycerides, lysophosphoglycerides, and phosphatidylinositols decreased during infection in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. A health diagnostic model for newborns based on maternal plasma was developed for each group and exhibited good diagnostic value (AUC > 0.85). Maternal and cord plasma’s lipidome changes during delivery, which are associated with COVID-19 infection during pregnancy, are synergistic. The most significant disturbances occur with infections in the second trimester of pregnancy. Full article
