Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The exposome and systems biology have the capacity to address unmet precision nutrition and public health needs. The exposome is defined as the totality of internal and external exposures across the lifespan and their health effects. The external exposome includes diet, nutrients, water, chemicals, pollutants, toxins, and other environmental and geospatial exposures. The internal exposome can be measured by untargeted metabolomics, encompassing the small metabolites resulting from all the metabolic processes. As such, the cumulative exposome can interact with the genetic predisposition to alter the metabolome and trigger the cardiometabolic disease onset or progression. In parallel, the biology systems approach facilitates the integration of large databases, including genomics, epigenomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and exposomics. Taken together, the exposome and biology system approaches can put into focus the signaling pathways, metabolic processes, and gene–environment interactions that can lead to the development of early diagnostic biomarkers, unravel new mechanism-based treatments, and assess the impact of the current treatments of metabolic diseases.
This Special Issue will address the food and dietary exposome, nutrigenomics, nutrients, beverages, phytochemicals, processed food, metabolomics, and the impact on the system biology and cardiometabolic disease risk, which may contribute to the applications of precision nutrition for therapeutic interventions in metabolic diseases.

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. Nutrients 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 2900 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.
