Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advances in systems studies and omics-based technologies allow us to gain a molecular understanding of human physiology. Analyses based on single omics technologies, such as metabolomics, proteomics, or transcriptomics, have led to the discovery of biomarkers for diseases and dietary intake and better understanding of the disease mechanisms of pathophysiology and etiology, and have been used to explore the influence of environment on health. However, tools that integrate these different technologies are necessary to fully capture the complexity of human inter-individuality.
Non-communicable diseases (NCD) are currently the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Poor nutrition (whether overnutrition or undernutrition) has been regarded as one of the main drivers of NCDs. However, the interaction between nutrition and NCD development among individuals varies, and the mechanisms driving this inter-individual response remain poorly understood. Multi-omics analysis may offer deeper insights into the mechanisms that drive different disease susceptibilities in humans as influenced by nutritional status and dietary intake.
In this Special Issue, we invite submissions that study the interaction of nutrition and disease using integrated multi-omics approaches. Manuscript submissions that explore mechanisms of disease susceptibility among populations with different nutritional status or pre-clinical studies (in vitro, in vivo) elucidating the link between nutrition and health are particularly welcome. We also welcome review articles reporting on the state-of-the-art in multi-omics approaches, particularly those linking nutrition and health.

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.
