Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cancer is a multifaceted process that involves alterations at gene and various micro and macro molecular levels. The dysregulation of metabolism in cancer is now well-appreciated and therefore, ‘Re-programming energy metabolism’ has been recognized as one of the hallmarks in cancer development in modern cancer biology. Moreover, understanding the complete metabolic alterations in cancer helps to develop novel predictive biomarkers and therapeutic targets as well as mechanisms towards arresting metastasis and drug resistance for better future cancer management strategies. Therefore, understanding cancer metabolism is crucial for a better understanding of cancer biology and for the discovery of novel metabolite biomarkers for cancer diagnosis. The aim of the present Special Issue is to collect original articles and reviews that focus on diverse aspects of cancer metabolism as well as studies that aim to discover novel metabolite(s) as cancer biomarkers. The issue will explore the mechanisms of metabolic reprograming associated with cancer and how it drives cancer progression, metastasis and drug resistance. Unravelling the regulatory roles of the cancer metabolites will support the development of novel diagnostics and therapeutic approaches for cancer.

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.
