Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is supervised by Dr. Duško Blagojević and assisted by Dr. Nikola Tatalović (Institute for Biological Research "Siniša Stanković" National Institute of the Republic of Serbia, University of Belgrade).
Oxidative stress, an imbalance between reactive oxygen species and antioxidants, is associated with many chronic diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disorders, and neurodegeneration. Nutrients such as vitamins (C, E), trace elements (selenium, zinc), polyphenols, and carotenoids among others modulate oxidative stress through direct antioxidant activity, support of endogenous antioxidant systems, or regulation of redox signaling. However, antioxidant supplementation often produces inconsistent outcomes.
This Special Issue aims to advance knowledge of how nutrients influence redox homeostasis in health and disease. We welcome laboratory studies, as well as both theoretical and modeling approaches, that provide insight into all aspects of nutrient-redox interactions, including functional foods, dietary patterns, personalized nutrition, dosage, bioavailability, microbiome interactions, biomarker-guided dietary strategies, and the use of bioactive antioxidants to preserve cellular health.
By integrating perspectives, this Special Issue will contribute to the understanding of the signaling dialogue between nutrients and the redox interface, nutrients application in mitigating oxidative stress and health outcome.

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-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.
