Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are essential in regulating various physiological functions. However, overproduction of ROS can be related to many diseases. Antioxidant administration represents an effective strategy to treat oxidative stress. In recent decades, nanotechnology and nanoparticles have received great interest and seen applications in many fields, from pharmaceutics to cosmetics or food. For instance, lipid nanoparticles due to their “green” characteristics related to their biodegradation and non-toxicity, have received significant attention as a carrier for antioxidant molecules. Over the past few decades, significant achievements have been made in the development of antioxidant nanotherapies, exhibiting multiple advantages.
This Special Issue aims to collect recent advances in the design, production, characterization, use, and effect of antioxidant nanoparticles, including polymeric or lipid-based nanoparticles, ROS-scavenging inorganic nanoparticles, organic nanoparticles with intrinsic antioxidant activity, and drug-loaded antioxidant nanoparticles, to be administered by different routes. We encourage the submission of research or review articles focusing on the use of antioxidant nanoparticles in the biomedical, pharmaceutical, or cosmetic field as well as in the food sector.

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.
