Insights into Redox Homeostasis and Oxidative Stress

Dear Colleagues,

The preservation of redox homeostasis is a constant challenge. The disruption of the precise equilibrium between oxidants and antioxidants in favor of the oxidants causes oxidative stress, which is associated with redox signaling disturbances and/or molecular damage. Nevertheless, accumulating evidence shows that these redox shifts are not consistently harmful. In particular, the low levels of oxidative stress, referred to as “oxidative eustress”, are necessary for physiological redox control and signaling, whereas its excessive levels, referred to as “oxidative distress”, impair redox signaling and cause oxidative damage to critical biomolecules, a phenomenon related to the pathophysiology of various diseases.

In this Special Issue, we invite authors to contribute reviews and research articles including, but not limited to, the following topics:

• The implication of redox alterations in pathological conditions;
• The impacts of exposure to commonly encountered xenobiotics on redox homeostasis;
• The effects of nutritional interventions and dietary patterns on metabolism and redox status.

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.
