Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
For 40 years, phospholipids were a forgotten area of investigation. In the last five years, however, this has changed. This Special Issue aims to review the role of phosphodiesters in metabolism and health. We now know that sphingomyelins are important to our understanding of brain fog due to Alzheimer’s dementia or infection with HIV or SAR-COV-2. Steroid phospho-diesters have a key role in potassium regulation during pregnancy, essential hypertension, and PTSD. Both sphingosines and steroids can be attached to either phosphoethanolamine or phosphocholine diesters. However, both ethanolamine and choline are required nutrients, and the phosphoesters must be synthesized, in situ, perhaps from CDP-serine or phosphatidyl-serine. As the guest editor of this Special Issue, I welcome research papers, reviews, and novel concepts for the synthesis and metabolism of phospholipids and sphingolipids.

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.
