Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the last three decades, the importance of magnesium content for cell function and the regulation of several metabolic, immunologic, neurologic, cardiovascular, obstetric, and oncologic conditions has increased exponentially together with a better understanding of the transport and energetic mechanisms that regulate magnesium homeostasis at the cellular and subcellular level, as well as at the systemic level.
The ultimate intent of this monographic Special Issue on magnesium in health and disease is to provide the interested readers with a collection of reviews and original research articles on key physiological and pathological conditions, to enhance the understanding of the major physiological roles magnesium ions play in eukaryotic cells and the major organ systems of the human body, and how the alteration of cellular and systemic magnesium homeostasis through therapeutic approaches, and endocrinopathies can result in the onset, progression, and severity of major pathologies and their complications in several organ systems.
