Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Inflammation is the body's response to exogenous or endogenous attacks and is also considered to be a process of self-protection. Mediators of inflammation and their triggered signalling pathways act together to constitute the network of inflammation, which will eventually cause inflammation-mediated diseases, including but not limited to infection, autoimmune diseases, allergic diseases, and so on.
In recent years, the metabolic reprogramming of immune cells has been found to control the fate of immune cells, thereby governing the process of inflammation. The intermediate metabolic pathways of biomacromolecules including carbohydrates, lipids, and amino acids, as well as other inorganic ions and organic molecules, are indicative of their importance for immune regulation and the inflammatory response. The key enzymes and metabolites of metabolic pathways, as well as the natural and synthetic compounds targeting these biochemical reactions, have been prioritized.
In order to keep up with the cutting-edge research in this field, we are seeking papers on any and all topics relevant to biochemical aspects of inflammation. We are looking forward to receiving your contribution.

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. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
