Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are excited to announce a new Special Issue for Antioxidants, ‘Oxidative Stress and Therapeutic Approaches in Lung Diseases’.
Oxidative stress—an imbalance between reactive oxygen species production and antioxidant defenses—plays a central role in the onset, progression, and exacerbation of numerous lung diseases, including COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, and acute lung injury. Despite increasing evidence supporting the value of antioxidant-based interventions, such therapies have not yet become standard clinical practice, highlighting a persistent gap between experimental research and patient care.
This Special Issue aims to bridge this gap by providing a platform for both scientists and clinicians to present innovative research, mechanistic insights, translational studies, and clinical perspectives. We particularly welcome submissions that address the following:
- Molecular and cellular mechanisms of oxidative stress in lung pathology;
- Novel antioxidant compounds, therapeutic targets, and delivery strategies;
- Preclinical and clinical studies evaluating antioxidant interventions;
- Biomarkers for oxidative stress-related lung injuries;
- Interdisciplinary approaches integrating redox biology with therapeutic development.
We anticipate that this Special Issue will foster meaningful dialog and collaboration, ultimately inspiring new therapeutic strategies that will improve outcomes for patients with lung diseases.
Prof. Dr. Ru-Jeng Teng

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. Antioxidants is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2900 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.
