cell-metabolism
Use when targeting Cell Metabolism or deciding whether a metabolism/physiology manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

# Cell Metabolism (cell-metabolism)
## Journal positioning
Cell Metabolism is Cell Press's flagship metabolism and physiology journal, publishing mechanistic studies of how organisms sense, process, and adapt to nutrients, energy, and metabolic stress — with emphasis on in vivo physiology and disease relevance. The core territory is metabolic disease (obesity, type 2 diabetes, NAFLD/NASH, cardiovascular-metabolic risk), mitochondrial biology, aging and longevity, and the metabolic underpinning of organ crosstalk. The readership spans metabolic biologists, physiologists, endocrinologists, and disease-oriented researchers; papers must deliver a mechanistic advance with in vivo grounding, not just a cell-culture phenotype.
This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the Cell Press site or submission system.
## When to trigger
- The author names Cell Metabolism as the target venue.
- A metabolism/physiology study is deciding between Cell Metabolism and Nature Metabolism, Cell, or a society metabolism journal.
- An in vivo metabolic study needs to assess whether its mechanistic depth and disease relevance meet the bar.
- The author needs this venue's desk-reject patterns and re-routing options.
