Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Oxidative stress (OS) (redox imbalance), is a phenomenon associated with an imbalance between the formation of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) and protective systems/antioxidants in favor of ROS/RNS formation. Mild OS can play a regulatory role in multiple signaling pathways, while large OS causes damage to important biomolecules, organs, and the whole organism. Intermediate OS can induce cell proliferation.
Increased production of ROS/RNS in the body may result from various external factors or internal pathological conditions (mitochondrial dysfunction, chronic inflammation, dysbalance of neurotransmitters in different signaling pathways) that may initiate pathological processes in the organism.
Oxidative stress is thought to play a role in the pathology of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's disease, multiple sclerosis, and others. The participation of OS in neuropsychiatric disorders (e.g., schizophrenia, depressive disorder, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and autism) are less well studied. It is not clear whether oxidative stress plays a causal role in their pathology or is a consequence of it. We invite you to submit the latest original research and significant results of your scientific work or review articles with a wide community of colleagues with the same or similar interests in the upcoming Special Issue Pathology Analysis on Redox Imbalance in Neurodegenerative Diseases and Neuropsychiatric Disorders. We welcome in vitro and in vivo studies, as well as pre-clinical and clinical studies involving cellular and molecular mechanisms, pathophysiology of the redox imbalance, new markers of oxidative damage, and their use for pharmacotherapeutic studies.

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.
