Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cellular alterations in energy metabolism and metabolic reprogramming are considered hallmarks of diverse diseases including cancer, neurodegenerative diseases and certainly, metabolic disorders like metabolic syndrome and diabetes. For example, an altered cellular metabolism has been recognized as one of the hallmarks of cancer since malignant cells are known to divert flux through their metabolic pathways (glycolysis, pentose phosphate pathway, Krebs cycle, etc.) to increase macromolecule and organelle biosynthesis to maintain active cellular proliferation. Recent research has associated some of these metabolic changes, particularly in mitochondria, to the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive oxygen by-products with a strong oxidation and signaling functions.
This Special Issue welcomes submissions of original research and reviews from diverse areas of cellular biology and biomedical research fields concerned with metabolic and ROS functions and alterations in human diseases, with the purpose of stimulating intriguing perspectives in the discipline.

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.
