Key Molecules in Traditional Medicine: From Molecular Mechanisms to Therapies Strategies

Dear Colleagues,

Traditional medicine has a long history and has been used to maintain health as well as prevent, diagnose, ameliorate, or treat physical and mental illnesses. It is still widely practiced throughout the world, and the efficacy as well as mechanisms of various traditional treatments, such as acupuncture, moxibustion, and Ayurveda, have been supported by many scientific studies. As a result, a chapter on traditional medicine has been included in the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-11).

This Special Issue aims to identify the molecular mechanisms of traditional medicine and covers topics ranging from demonstrating the efficacy of natural compounds to exploring biomolecules associated with the efficacy of traditional medicine treatments. This Special Issue will include all studies on biomolecules related to the effects of the mechanisms of traditional medicine using a variety of methodologies, including in silico, in vitro, and in vivo studies. We invite original research articles and reviews that highlight significant advances in these areas.

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. Biomolecules is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
