Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Inflammation is a complex biological process triggered by the immune system in response to harmful stimuli, including pathogens, toxic agents, irritants, etc. Uncontrolled inflammation has been proven to be closely related with the pathogenesis of many diseases, including oncological disorders, colitis, metabolic disorders, neurological system diseases, and so on. Therapeutics based on the regulation of inflammation/immune responses have received more and more attention in the treatment of relevant diseases. Nevertheless, great challenges still remain in the discovery of effective therapeutic targets and drug candidates. Natural derived compounds with rich resources and enormous structural diversity provide an enormous library of chemical entities with various biological activities; the discovery of natural bioactive compounds for the regulation of uncontrolled inflammation as well as the treatment of diseases, including oncological disorders, has gained increasing attention in the past decades.
In this Special Issue, entitled "Natural Bioactive Compounds for the Treatment of Inflammation and Oncological Disorders”, we sincerely invite researchers to submit related research results to us, aiming to promote the field of drugs developed from natural products. In particular, studies that evaluate the molecular mechanisms of natural bioactive compounds in the treatment of inflammation-related diseases and oncological disorders are especially encouraged. Both original research articles and reviews are welcome.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
