About this Research Topic
The role of micronutrients and metabolic wastes in cellular molecular mechanisms is receiving increasing attention. These micronutrients and metabolites play key roles in cellular physiology as well as in disease states, especially at various levels of genetic information expression and functional realization. Their functions are particularly important in the regulation of gene expression, DNA repair, chromatin remodeling, RNA processing, and post-transcriptional modifications.
Micronutrients and metabolic wastes such as selenium, iron, and zinc not only play a role in core metabolic pathways, but also exert influence in the regulation of several other metabolic mechanisms. Recently, the role of these micronutrients in tRNA modification and DNA repair, as well as new findings on the interactions of metabolic wastes with immune metabolism have attracted our attention. Understanding how these molecular mechanisms interact to influence disease processes and cancer development and cancer regulation may help identify new biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets.
We would like to invite submissions from researchers worldwide to share the roles of micronutrients and metabolic wastes in molecular mechanisms, especially those recent studies that shed light on their interactions in genetic regulation, immune metabolism, and other metabolic regulatory mechanisms. These studies may help to reveal new targets in the disease process and provide new directions for clinical treatment.
