About the Journal

With the development of economy and society, the prevalence of metabolic diseases has increased sharply in recent years. Metabolic diseases can cause serious damage to human health and cause a heavy burden of disease, and have become one of the challenges for public health worldwide. Therefore, metabolic risks, such as high fasting plasma glucose, high systolic blood pressure, and high body mass index, warrant particular attention and are the mechanisms by which public health efforts can most efficiently and effectively prevent health loss. At the same time, the application of translational medicine in metabolic diseases can promote the translation of emerging knowledge and technologies into new methods, and bridge the knowledge gaps at the junction of preclinical research and medical applications. Hence, a medical journal focusing on metabolism and translational medicine is urgently needed, which can spread the latest academic progress to worldwide readers.

Metabolism and Translational Medicine is a peer-reviewed and open-accessed journal and aims to promote the translation of emerging knowledge and technologies into new methods of metabolic diseases, and bridge the knowledge gaps at the junction of preclinical research and medical applications. Metabolism and Translational Medicine provides a forum for communicating the epidemiological, etiological, mechanical, management methodology, and other special articles related to all aspects of metabolism. Specifically, we welcome systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and original research articles, focusing on clinical and translational metabolic research. Research with strong translational potential is prioritized.
