Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metabolism is critical to the growth and functioning of any biological system. The knowledge of metabolic phenotypes of living cells provides avenues for the development of new therapies and the identification of biomarkers for various diseases, or in metabolic engineering for industrial applications. Metabolomics and systems-based tools such as metabolic flux analysis and genome-scale modelling are popular approaches for measuring metabolism. There have been continuous efforts in refining and advancing analytical platforms and flux analysis tools to provide detailed insights into cellular metabolism and metabolic fluxes. This Special Issue focuses on recent developments and emerging trends in metabolomic studies and in metabolic modelling. It will cover the application of these tools in various disciplines ranging from human diseases to microbial biotechnology.

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. Metabolites 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 2700 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.
