STM publisher Thieme Publishing Group, Germany, has announced the launch of a new open access (OA) journal, Metabolism and Nutrition in Oncology (MNO). The online journal is dedicated to the interplay of dietary food habits, food, nutrients, metabolism and cancer. Its editorial board includes four experts in the field: Jann Arends, Hartmut Bertz, Paul Urbain (all Freiburg) and Hans Konrad Biesalski from Stuttgart.
Covering all aspects of metabolic pathways in cancer, MNO publishes content investigating the pathophysiology of metabolic maldevelopment, as well as the differentiation of metabolic pathways in healthy compared to cancerous tissues. Over the past decades, advances made in cancer research have shown the reaction of single nutrients, both in an isolated state and in association with other complexes. Research has further presented evidence for singular nutrients to display both positive and negative effects, on the development of neoplastic cells, as well as interacting cancer therapies. By focusing on metabolic processes in cancer, MNO aims to encourage researchers to study the relationship between tumour metabolism and food products and their characteristic nutritional components.
MNO seeks to publish original research, review articles and case reports. Rapid communications are also accepted with expedited processing times for the release of the very latest research results. All articles submitted to MNO undergo rigorous peer review. As an open access journal, all articles are made freely available for all to read and download from Thieme E-Journals. Additionally, print issues are available on demand.
