Drug Metabolism and Toxicological Mechanisms
Absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion processes are of importance in understanding how the body responds to drugs. These processes play a pivotal role in assessing the efficacy and safety of drugs, while also enabling the prediction of potential adverse reactions or toxicities. This Special Issue collects articles that span molecular mechanisms, clinical toxicology, preclinical studies, and regulatory innovation. Contributions explore the dynamic evolution of drug metabolism research, emphasizing mechanistic clarity, technological innovation, and translational relevance.
Mitochondrial Metabolism Alterations in Health and Disease
Mitochondria are key organelles responsible for cell energy production, and they are essential for eukaryotic life. They take part in critical metabolic pathways and are fully integrated into intracellular signaling networks, cellular differentiation, and apoptosis. Mitochondrial functions extend beyond cell boundaries and influence the organisms' physiology by regulating the communication between cells and tissues. Mitochondria are involved in a range of conditions, including inherited mitochondrial disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, dystrophies, heart failure, cardiac dysfunction, vascular diseases and atherosclerosis, pulmonary and respiratory disorders, renal diseases, metabolic disorders, diabetes, aging, and cancer. Therefore, they are attracting increasing attention with the aim of fully understanding the link between the mitochondrial metabolism and the dysregulation of many cellular processes.
