Current Developments in Nutrition: Volume 8 (Issue 1 to Issue 3)

Current Developments in Nutrition (CDN) is an official monthly publication of the American Society for Nutrition (ASN). This open-access journal focuses on the field of nutritional sciences, spanning various animal species and addressing a wide range of topics from deep mechanistic studies at the molecular and cellular levels to whole-body metabolism, clinical health, fitness, and population health. CDN encourages high-quality research contributions that span the breadth of nutritional sciences.

Key areas of emphasis for CDN include, but are not limited to:

1. Animal Nutrition: Covering agricultural and companion animals as well as aquaculture.
2. Bioactive Food Components & Dietary Supplements: Examining the effects and mechanisms of action of bioactive compounds and supplements.
3. Community & Global Nutrition: Addressing nutrition-related issues at the community and global levels, including public health and policy.
4. Eating Behavior & Qualitative Assessments: Focusing on research related to eating habits, behaviors, and qualitative assessments.
5. Food & Agricultural Sustainability: Investigating sustainable food production and its impact on nutrition.
6. Food & Nutrition of Indigenous Peoples: Exploring the unique dietary patterns and health challenges of Indigenous populations.
7. Food Composition, Nutritional Value & Toxicology: Reporting on the chemical composition and nutritional value of foods, including potential toxic components.
8. Genomics, Proteomics, & Metabolomics: Investigating the role of genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics in nutrition and health.
9. Geriatric Nutrition: Focusing on nutrition-related aspects of aging and elderly populations.
10. Implementation Science: Assessing the design and impact of nutrition programs and interventions.
