Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The modulation of oxidative stress appears to be a key therapeutic target in various diseases, including inflammatory, endocrinological, neurological and psychiatric disorders and cancers.
In the last few decades, the study of oxidative stress biomarkers that can not only be used to monitor clinical conditions, but also provide information about the efficacy of treatments, is gaining a growing interest. Useful biomarkers should show specificity (diagnostic tools), have prognostic value, and correlate with disease conditions, especially when coupled with specific therapeutic targets to help in the selection of the most effective drugs/dose regimens for patients.
The most appropriate antioxidant defense should prevent the formation of reactive oxygen species by decreasing their precursors or increasing defense activity, but contrasting results are arising for the use of antioxidant therapies in oxidative-stress prevention or the treatment of related diseases.
This Special Issue will cover all topics related to oxidative-stress-related human diseases and will especially welcome submissions of manuscripts on redox mechanisms and the pathophysiology underlying the roles of biomarkers and bioactive compounds as useful tools for potential therapeutic purposes. It should be noted that this Special Issue will consider the publication of both review articles and original research articles.

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. Biomolecules 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 2700 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.
