Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This issue will look at the interplay between iron and oxidative stress in skin pathologies as well as skin damage due to exposure to environmental exposomes, notably sunlight. At cellular level, the phenomenon of iron-mediated cell death (ferroptosis) has also been linked to evasion or initiation and promotion of various pathologies. In all these cases, the use of iron chelators or compounds with iron-binding activity in conjunction with antioxidants appears to be beneficial as a preventive or therapeutic approach against iron-mediated oxidative damage and pathologies. There is now a clear need to understand these phenomena within the context of sunlight-mediated disruption of iron and redox homeostasis and initiation and promotion of skin inflammatory and hyperproliferative disorders. This specific issue will therefore welcome research articles and reviews discussing and reporting on basic skin research as well as preclinical and clinical dermatology-based studies within the context of iron, oxidative stress, and pathologies.

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. Cells is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
