Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Although oxidative stress affects the overall health of the body, the skin is particularly susceptible to oxidative damage because this organ is directly exposed to external factors, such as oxygen, ultraviolet rays, and air pollutants, as well as internal genetic, physiological, and metabolic factors. Therefore, various levels of experimental and clinical studies have been conducted to examine the mechanistic association of oxidative stress and the therapeutic potential of antioxidants in several skin diseases. In addition, various natural and synthetic antioxidants have been explored to apply them in preventing or alleviating skin aging symptoms caused by chronic oxidative stress. This Special Issue aims to share the latest research results among experts in the fields of dermatology and cosmetology and to promote groundbreaking academic and technological development. The main topics to be covered by this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Evidence supporting or disputing the mechanisms of oxidative stress in skin aging and diseases.
- The intrinsic and extrinsic factors that cause oxidative stress in the skin.
- The role of endogenous and exogenous (synthetic or natural) antioxidants in mitigating oxidative damage in the skin.
- Pros and cons of dietary antioxidants in skin health and diseases.
- Therapeutic strategy and applications of antioxidants in dermatology and cosmetology.
- The impact of oxidative stress on specific conditions like psoriasis, dermatitis, and skin cancer.
- Glycation stress or advanced glycation end-products in skin health and disease.
- Evaluation of therapeutic efficacy using topical formulations or nanoparticles of antioxidants
