Oxidative Stress and Inflammation as Targets for Novel Preventive and Therapeutic Approaches in Non-Communicable Diseases 4th Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Considering the great success of the Special Issue “Oxidative Stress and Inflammation as Targets for Novel Preventive and Therapeutic Approaches in Non-Communicable Diseases III” we are pleased to announce the fourth edition of this fascinating topic. Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are chronic diseases characterized by a long duration and very slow progression, a profile that includes most aging-related diseases. NCDs account for approximately 70% of the deaths from cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, and Alzheimer’s disease. This group of diseases is characterized by an altered inflammatory status, a redox imbalance, and compromised autophagy, which are critical to consider in the development of novel therapeutic strategies. We welcome contributions to this Special Issue that are either reviews of the literature or original research articles describing the role of oxidative stress and inflammation, their interplay with autophagy, and their modulation by novel preventative and therapeutic strategies targeting signaling pathways and gender responses. These can include drug combinations with natural active compounds, in-cell culture systems, preclinical animal models, and human clinical studies. Human clinical studies aiming to analyze the effects (and eventually the gender response) of diets, functional foods, or natural bioactive compounds in the prevention or therapy of NCDs are also 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.
