Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Oxidative stress plays a central role in the pathogenesis of numerous acute and chronic diseases. While conventional antioxidant therapies have shown limited clinical utility, recent advances in targeted and mechanistically informed antioxidant strategies are renewing interest in their therapeutic use. Mitochondria, as key regulators of cellular energy and redox homeostasis, are both major sources and targets of oxidative stress, and as our understanding of mitochondrial biology deepens, novel interventions aimed at improving mitochondrial function are gaining attention. Among them, mitochondrial transplantation (MTx)—the transfer of healthy mitochondria into damaged tissues—has emerged as a promising regenerative strategy across a range of human pathologic conditions.
This Special Issue invites original research, comprehensive reviews, and translational perspectives on the following three interconnected themes:
(1) The development and application of antioxidant therapies;
(2) Mechanisms and modulators of mitochondrial function and dysfunction;
(3) Advancements in mitochondrial transplantation technologies.
Submissions addressing each of these topics independently, or exploring their mechanistic interplay, are particularly encouraged.

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.
