Science Insights is an open-access journal. Science Insights focuses on general science, which includes all the aspects of the field related to science. Science Insights has a three-stage review system in which the manuscript will be reviewed first by the Executive Editor-in-Chief. Then it will be forwarded to the in-house professional editors for screening, and finally, it will be sent out for peer review. During the second stage, the manuscript may be encountered rejection or even be accepted for publication without further peer review, depending on the critical checking by our in-house editors. The Journal's peer-review process generally takes two weeks, so any submissions to Science Insights can get the final decision within one month. The primary criteria for considering submissions are whether the manuscript is written in English, whether the idea is presented concisely, and whether it is readable to non-professionals. Particular standards exist for different types of papers.

In this issue, Dr. David Han from The California State University in Los Angeles organized manuscripts talking about long COVID and its potential effects on various aspects. It is essential for healthcare professionals to pay closer attention to this condition and develop effective strategies for managing and treating it. By acknowledging the long-term impact of COVID-19 on individuals' health and well-being, we can work towards providing better support and care for those experiencing prolonged symptoms.

Mitochondria play a critical role in the human body as they are responsible for generating most of the cell's supply of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is essential for cellular energy production. When mitochondria become dysfunctional, it can lead to a wide range of diseases and disorders due to impaired energy production and oxidative stress. Cumulative evidence shown that mitochondrial dysfunction is implicated in various conditions such as neurodegenerative diseases, metabolic disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and even cancer. Factors such as genetic mutations, environmental toxins, poor diet, and aging can all contribute to mitochondrial dysfunction. Understanding the link between mitochondria and disease pathology is crucial for developing targeted treatments and interventions to improve patient outcomes.
