Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Micronutrients are vital to human health and play essential roles in metabolism, including energy generation, enzyme catalysis, cell signal transduction, and antioxidant as well as immune defense. Imbalances in micronutrient levels, whether excessive or insufficient, can lead to a series of human diseases. Dietary intake is the primary source of micronutrients, making scientific dietary planning and a balanced diet crucial for meeting the body’s micronutrient needs. The study of the physiological functions of micronutrients has a long history, accumulating valuable experiences in understanding this knowledge. Currently, research on micronutrients continues to make rapid progress, and recent discoveries in mechanisms such as ferroptosis and cuproptosis have propelled this field of study to new heights. Exciting findings have been made in basic medical research and clinical studies. These research advancements provide important insights into our understanding of health and disease, and guide the application of micronutrients.

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. Nutrients is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
