Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to the diversity of their chemical structure, natural products, especially those of plant origin, provide an opportunity to discover new compounds that can be transformed into drugs. These compounds can influence various metabolic pathways in the body, helping to maintain homeostasis processes, improve antioxidant mechanisms, and protect the central nervous system. Additionally, they provide anticancer effects, acting both as apoptosis inducers and antiangiogenic chemicals. These mechanisms are extremely important for maintaining and restoring human health. Following the first and second editions, we encourage researchers to publish their latest discoveries in this field, highlighting the importance of naturally derived active metabolites and their associated molecular mechanisms of bioactivity.
Entries related to the topic of this Special Issue may extend beyond the areas mentioned in the keywords.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Current Issues in Molecular Biology 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 2200 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.
