Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mitochondria are key organelles responsible for cell energy production and are essential for eukaryotic life. They take part in critical metabolic pathways and are fully integrated into intracellular signaling networks, cellular differentiation, and apoptosis. Mitochondrial functions extend beyond cell boundaries and influence the organisms’ physiology by regulating the communication between cells and tissues. Mitochondria are involved in inherited mitochondrial disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, dystrophies, heart failure, cardiac dysfunction, vascular diseases and atherosclerosis, pulmonary and respiratory disorders, renal diseases, metabolic disorders, diabetes, aging, and cancer. Therefore, they are attracting increasing attention with the aim of fully understanding the link between the mitochondrial metabolism and the dysregulation of many cellular processes. This Special Issue will focus on mitochondrial metabolic alterations underlying various pathologies. Original manuscripts and reviews with a particular focus on the physiological role of mitochondria in cell life, as well as their involvement in human diseases assessed in cell lines, animal models, and/or patients, are welcome.

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.
