Targeting Oxidative Stress for Disease: 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Oxidative stress (OS) represents the metabolic state of the organism induced by an increase in the amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS). It is most often associated with neurological diseases but also contributes to the pathogenesis of a number of seemingly unrelated disorders, including type 2 diabetes, cancer, aging, heart and acute renal failure, hypertension, preeclampsia, atherosclerosis and coronary disease, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, rheumatoid arthritis, glaucoma, osteoporosis, and sexual dysfunction, among others.

This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive insight into the understanding of the role of ROS-mediated effects in the physiological, and especially in the pathological processes of diseases’ development. We would like to highlight the possibilities of exploiting OS as a therapeutic approach in the treatment of cancer.

We cordially invite authors to contribute original articles as well as review papers that present advances on the potential of the most relevant dietary antioxidants on redox biology. These include their antioxidant capacity that may affect biomarkers of oxidative stress and inflammation, as well as their role in the regulation of mitochondrial function, cell signaling proteins, ion channels and transporters, and the ubiquitination/proteasome system, preventing the occurrence of numerous pathological processes.

This Special Issue is supervised by Prof. Dr. Nada Orsolic and Dr. Maja Jazvinšćak Jembrek, assisted by our Topical Advisory Panel Member, Dr. Malamati Kourti (Department of Life Sciences, School of Sciences, European University Cyprus, Cyprus).

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized 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.
