Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Excessive inflammation and oxidative stress are detrimental to our body’s homeostasis. Therefore, we warmly invite you to submit your valuable contributions and papers to our Special Issue in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences. Inflammatory and oxidative diseases span a wide range of medical specialties, including endocrinology, neurology, gastroenterology, pulmonology, and rheumatology. Interdisciplinary research is especially relevant in diseases such as diabetes, which affect multiple organs beyond the pancreas, contributing to complications encompassing diabetic cardiomyopathy and diabetic nephropathy. Investigating novel approaches to inflammatory and oxidative diseases, disease progression, pharmacological prevention and intervention strategies is paramount. Our Special Issue welcomes original articles as well as reviews. We also invite you to submit studies on using medicinal plants and bioactive compounds as well as established, novel, or yet to be explored drugs as an intervention. Papers using interdisciplinary approaches to inflammatory and oxidative diseases are also welcome. Clinical human trials, preclinical cellular and animal studies, and special critical and systematic reviews with breakthrough advances will receive special attention.
This Special Issue is supervised by Dr. Sandra Barbalho and assisted by our Guest Editor Assistant Dr. Lucas Fornari Laurindo, Department of Biochemistry and Pharmacology, School of Medicine, Universidade de Marília (UNIMAR). Thank you for considering our Special Issue for your research. We appreciate your interest and look forward to receiving your papers.
Dr. Sandra Barbalho
Guest Editor
