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

Dear Colleagues,

The success of the Special Issue “Oxidative Stress and Inflammation as Targets for Novel Preventive and Therapeutic Approaches in Non-Communicable Diseases II” has prompted us to propose a third part with the aim of keeping interest high among the research community in this relevant and fascinating topic. Non-communicable diseases  (NCDs), including cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, diabetes mellitus, and chronic kidney disease,  are chronic diseases characterized by a long duration and very slow progression that account for most aging-related diseases. NCDs represent the main cause of death and disability for the general population regardless of age, region, or gender. The common features in NCDs are inflammation, oxidative stress, and dysregulated autophagy that contribute to the pathogenesis and evolution of the diseases. Awareness is growing regarding established specific biomarkers of these features that help to reach a correct diagnosis and to open up novel strategies of assessment and intervention for the disorders. We invite you to submit your latest research findings or a review article to this Special Issue which will clarify the role of oxidative stress and inflammation, their interplay with autophagy, as well as their modulation through signaling pathways via novel preventive and therapeutic strategies, including drug or natural active compounds and their combination, in cell culture systems and preclinical animal models. 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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
