Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nowadays more than ever, humans are exposed to pro-mutagenic risk factors for nutritional deficiencies, altered redox balance, impaired systemic detox capacity, gut dysbiosis, hormonal imbalance, over-burdened immune system, etc. This calls for a compelling broadening of the spectrum of surveillance and beneficial pro-health actions to be considered long before a disease takes place. Thus, this Special Issue represents a formidable opportunity for several professionals from basic science (molecular biologists, experts in nanotechnologies, in stem cells, peptides, engineered delivery systems, anticancer senolytics, cell waste detox, etc.) as well as clinicians (experimental and clinical oncologists, hepato-gastroenterologists, pharmacologists, microbiologists, immunologists, pneumologists, nephrologists, etc.) are encouraged to bring their data, however preliminary, to the attention of readers from academia and industry.
