Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The journal Antioxidants is pleased to announce a Special Issue titled "Redox Biology and Genomic Integrity". This Issue will delve into the complex interplay between redox biology and the maintenance of genomic stability. We aim to explore the biochemical mechanisms underlying the cellular responses to reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidative stress, and how these processes influence genomic integrity across diverse organisms.
Specifically, we invite contributions that investigate the following topics:
- The impact of redox imbalances on the following processes:
- Mutation rates;
- DNA damage and repair pathways;
- Genomic stability;
- Mitochondrial function and dysfunction;
- Telomere maintenance;
- Epigenetic modifications;
- The role of antioxidant defense mechanisms in the following processes:
- Protecting against oxidative DNA damage;
- Maintaining genome integrity;
- Modulating DNA repair processes;
- The significance of redox signaling in the following processes:
- Regulating cellular responses to oxidative stress;
- Adapting to redox stress conditions;
- Model organisms and their relevance to human health, including the following:
- Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae);
- Mammalian systems;
- Other relevant model organisms.
We encourage submissions of original research articles, reviews, and short communications that address these topics and advance our understanding of how redox biology affects genome integrity. Studies employing cutting-edge methodologies, such as high-throughput sequencing, proteomics, and live-cell imaging are particularly welcome.

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.
