Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since its founding, IJMS has served as a multidisciplinary platform for publishing innovative studies that explore molecular-level mechanisms in biology, medicine, chemistry, and beyond.
In celebration of the 25th anniversary of the International Journal of Molecular Sciences (IJMS), this Special Issue aims to honor the journal’s long-standing contribution to the development of the field of bioactive compounds and nutraceutical products science, while highlighting current trends and future perspectives.
We welcome the submission of original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and short communications that reflect the breadth and evolution of molecular sciences. We encourage the submission of contributions that all major thematic areas covered by bioactives and nutraceuticals, including but not limited to the following:
- the discovery of novel bioactive natural products;
- the role of these products in manipulating food structure and hence potential physiological mediation for human nutrition;
- the use of in vitro and in vivo bioactivity research using cell lines and animal models as exemplars of human physiology.
This Special Issue provides an opportunity not only to celebrate the scientific progress of the past 25 years, but also offers an overview of novel insights, methods and interdisciplinary approaches in the field of active compounds and nutrition. We invite scientists active in the field to provide the community with outstanding contributions that will enrich the IJMS “25th Anniversary” Special Issue.
