Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Oxidation and reduction represent the most important molecular transformations that occur within an organism. They regulate the correct functions of the cell, its growth, and its division. However, the condition is the maintenance of physiological equilibrium between the two. The oxidant–antioxidant balance, in turn, depends on the antioxidant capacity and the production level of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. A disturbance to the balance leads to a number of pathological changes. The most commonly observed is oxidative stress, which leads to inflammation. This is defined as a high concentration of reactive oxygen and/or nitrogen species, the consequences of which the body cannot cope with. An excess of antioxidants, which may result in antioxidant stress, has also been noted.
The objective of this Special Issue is to provide a comprehensive and systematic account of the current molecular knowledge on the redox balance in humans, while also seeking to identify and disseminate the latest original research in this field. I therefore encourage the submission of both reviews and original papers, including those pertaining to in vitro studies with reference to human organisms at the molecular level.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
