Dear Dr. /Prof.
In January 2023, we will publish a special issue on “Molecular Nutrition and Chronic diseases” in Journal of Zhejiang University-SCIENCE-B (Biomedicine & Biotechnology), JZUS-B for short. This special issue is organized by Prof. Wei CHEN as a Guest Editor-in-Chief. The purpose is to provide an up-to-date view as well as an outlook the field. This issue will be open accessed by SpringerLink and PMC in order to attract worldwide attention, and indexed by SCI-E, MEDLINE/PubMed, Scopus, etc.
Considering your strong academic background, we warmly invite you to contribute a review, perspective, communication, or research article regarding Molecular Nutrition and Chronic Diseases to JZUS-B. We are in an attempt to move the frontier of this science a little further forward and hope that you will work with us to achieve this goal. A limited number of people have been invited to contribute to this issue; hence this is an exclusive invitation.
JZUS-B is an international peer-reviewed journal co-published by Springer & Zhejiang University Press. JZUS-B aims to present the latest developments and achievements in the broad area of Biomedicine and Biotechnology, and has a broad audience including experts in the field all over world. More information can be found at journal website http://www.jzus.zju.edu.cn.
Hot topics
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
(1) New methods for identification and characterization of food-derived functional ingredients and their bioactivity screening and verification.
(2) Bioavailability, absorption, and metabolism of food-derived functional ingredients studied using novel in vitro and in vivo models.
(3) The nutritional efficacy and responses of food-derived functional ingredients on chronic diseases including obesity, diabetes, fatty liver, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, arthritis, chronic kidney disease (CKD), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) etc.
(4) Molecular mechanism of food-derived functional ingredients on chronic diseases via regulating gene expression, signal transduction or posttranslational modifications of proteins.
(5) State-of-the-Art Multi-Omics approaches by integrating spatial omics, single cell sequencing, transcriptome, epigenome, metabolome, and microbiome to elucidate the regulatory mechanism of food-derived functional ingredients on chronic diseases.
All submissions will undergo rigorous international peer review.
