Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mitochondria, as the powerhouses of the cell, play a central role in both energy production and cellular homeostasis. Emerging research highlights the crucial role of mitochondrial redox resilience in preserving mitochondrial health, particularly in response to oxidative stress and metabolic challenges. The concept of redox resilience—defined as the capacity of mitochondria to sustain redox homeostasis despite fluctuating environmental and cellular conditions—has profound implications for understanding cellular aging, neurodegenerative diseases, metabolic disorders, and cancer.
This topic aims to explore the molecular mechanisms underlying mitochondrial redox resilience, focusing on how mitochondria manage oxidative damage, facilitate metabolic reprogramming, and coordinate protective pathways. Investigating mitochondrial redox-sensitive pathways and the interplay between mitochondrial dynamics and cellular stress responses will open new avenues for therapeutic interventions. Additionally, understanding how mitochondrial redox resilience can be harnessed or compromised in disease states offers promising strategies for drug development and precision medicine. We invite contributions from diverse fields, including molecular biology, biochemistry, systems biology, and clinical research, to advance the understanding of mitochondrial redox resilience as a cornerstone of cellular health. This journal will serve as a platform for cutting-edge discussions, fostering novel insights into how mitochondria balance redox homeostasis to preserve cellular physiology and mitigate disease.

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.
