Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Oxidative stress plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of numerous human diseases, including cancer, neurological disorders, cardiometabolic conditions, and aging. Understanding the intricate mechanisms regulating oxidative stress and the homeostatic antioxidant response is essential for developing innovative therapeutic interventions.
Insights gained from model organisms offer valuable perspectives on the molecular and cellular processes underlying oxidative stress, paving the way for novel translational approaches in human disease research. This Special Issue aims to highlight recent advancements in oxidative stress and antioxidant research using model organisms with direct relevance to human health.
We welcome contributions focusing on cellular processes such as cell cycle regulation, intercellular communication, and cell death—key pathways implicated in disease progression. Special emphasis will be placed on studies employing cutting-edge, high-throughput omics technologies, including transcriptomics, single-cell genomics, metabolomics, and proteomics. Additionally, novel strategies for the targeted delivery of antioxidant-based therapies will be of particular interest.
By integrating findings from diverse model systems, this Special Issue seeks to foster a deeper understanding of oxidative stress-related pathophysiology and drive the development of effective therapeutic strategies for human diseases.

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.
