Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bioactive compounds that are synthetically modified or obtained from natural sources have significant potential for therapeutic applications. Understanding their molecular and pharmacological mechanisms is essential to promote the discovery and clinical application of new drugs. This Special Issue focuses on the complex biological pathways through which bioactive compounds exert their effects, including interactions with cell signaling networks, epigenetic modifications, metabolic reprogramming, and immune modulation. It highlights innovative research on the role of bioactive compounds in combating diseases such as infectious diseases, cancer, neurodegenerative metabolic, and genetic and cardiovascular disorders. We welcome studies exploring mechanisms of drug resistance and new therapeutic strategies.
We invite original research articles and reviews that elucidate the molecular basis, efficacy, and therapeutic potential of bioactive compounds.

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.
