Oxygen and Ozone-Chemical Reactions, Biological Activities and Pathologies

Dear Colleagues,

Climate change and pollution contribute to the increase in ozone in the atmosphere, especially in large cities, where the air used for breathing by living beings is of increasingly poor quality. Ozone, like oxygen, when present in high quantities, can induce molecular modifications with the consequence of alterations in cellular functions, which can favor the development of various pathologies (cancers, cardiovascular diseases, etc.) and accelerate aging. The purpose of this Special Issue is to bring together work showing how ozone can modify different molecules and what the effects of ozone, ozonolysis, and ozone-modified molecules are on cellular functions, as well as on the development of major diseases (cancers, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, eye diseases, etc.) and on the aging process.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Oxygen is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1000 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
