Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanotechnology is an interdisciplinary field that deals with the manipulation, creation, and use of materials, devices, and systems at nanometric scales, in turn offering innovative solutions in various domains, including healthcare. Concurrently, redox health refers to the balance between oxidants and reductants within the body. Oxidative stress, resulting from an imbalance favoring reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS), contributes to the pathogenesis of various chronic diseases. Nanotechnology holds great potential in revolutionizing the treatment of chronic diseases, offering novel tools for early diagnosis, targeted therapy, and tissue regeneration. Research in this field is promising and could lead to significant advancements in public health. In this Special Issue, we aim to explore the intersection of nanotechnology and redox health management. We invite researchers to submit original research reports and reviews that address the potential of nanomedicine to prevent or treat chronic conditions associated with oxidative stress (e.g., cancer, cardiovascular disorders, neurodegenerative conditions, and metabolic syndromes). Specific areas of interest include the nanocarrier-based delivery of antioxidants, the use of nanomaterials for modulating redox signaling pathways involved in disease progression, and the use of redox-responsive nanomaterials for controlled drug release.

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. 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.
