• Mechanistic insight and therapeutic potential: work that provides mechanistic understanding of metabolic processes and dysfunction, with potential for transformative impact on prognosis, prevention, and treatment of metabolic disorders and their complications.机制洞见与治疗潜力： 提供代谢过程与功能障碍机制理解，并对代谢紊乱及其并发症的预后、预防与治疗具有潜在变革性影响的工作。
• Article types: original research articles, reviews, perspectives, and short communications, with an emphasis on hypothesis-driven work generated to high methodological standards.栏目设置： 接受原创研究论文、综述、观点与短讯，强调以高方法学标准开展的假说驱动研究。

History

• Founding: the journal was founded in 2012 by Elsevier as a dedicated forum for molecular and translational metabolism research, responding to the growth of the field in the context of the global obesity and diabetes epidemics.创刊： 该刊 2012 年由爱思唯尔创刊，作为分子与转化代谢研究的专门论坛，回应全球肥胖与糖尿病流行背景下该领域的发展。
• Elsevier publication: throughout its history the journal has been published by Elsevier and is associated with a broad community of metabolism researchers across academia and industry.爱思唯尔出版： 在整个历史中该刊一直由爱思唯尔出版，与来自学术界与产业界的广泛代谢研究共同体相联系。
• Growth and scope: the journal has grown rapidly since its launch, expanding to cover the full breadth of metabolism research from molecular mechanisms to translational and clinical applications.发展与范围： 自创刊以来该刊发展迅速，范围已扩展至涵盖从分子机制到转化与临床应用的代谢研究全貌。

Editors

The journal is led by an editor-in-chief supported by editors and a large international editorial board:该刊由主编领导，多位编辑与大型国际编委会协助工作：

• Editor-in-chief: Stephan Herzig, Director of the Institute for Diabetes and Cancer at the Helmholtz Zentrum München, Germany, whose research focuses on the molecular mechanisms of metabolic diseases, particularly the intersection of diabetes and cancer.主编： 斯蒂芬·赫尔齐希（Stephan Herzig），德国亥姆霍兹慕尼黑中心糖尿病与癌症研究所所长，研究方向为代谢性疾病分子机制，特别是糖尿病与癌症的交叉领域。
• Editors: Lora Heisler of the Rowett Institute at the University of Aberdeen, whose work concerns the neural regulation of energy balance and body weight, and Christian Wolfrum of Nanyang Technological University, whose research focuses on adipose tissue biology and metabolic regulation.编辑团队： 阿伯丁大学罗威特研究所的洛拉·海斯勒（Lora Heisler），研究方向为能量平衡与体重的神经调节；南洋理工大学的克里斯蒂安·沃尔弗鲁姆（Christian Wolfrum），研究方向为脂肪组织生物学与代谢调节。
• Editorial board: the editorial board comprises over seventy leading metabolism researchers from institutions worldwide, covering the full range of topics within the journal's scope.编委会： 编委会由来自全球机构的七十余位顶尖代谢研究人员组成，覆盖刊物范围内的全部议题。
• Review model: manuscripts are assessed by an editor for fit and quality, and those within scope undergo external peer review before a final decision based on mechanistic depth, novelty, and significance to metabolism research.评审模式： 稿件先由编辑评估适配性与质量，符合范围者经外部同行评审后再基于机制深度、新颖性与对代谢研究的意义做出最终决定。
