Relevant Molecules in the Process of Oxidative Stress

Dear Colleagues,

Oxidative stress plays an integral role in the development and progression of many pathological conditions. It results from an imbalance between reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, and the mechanisms that counteract their harmful effects.

We are pleased to invite you to contribute to the Special Issue, titled, 'Relevant Molecules in the Process of Oxidative Stress', which explores key molecules involved in redox imbalance, including ROS/RNS, antioxidant enzymes, redox-active metabolites and regulatory pathways such as poly(ADPribosyl)ation. In particular, the influence of these molecules on cellular homeostasis, DNA repair, inflammation, metabolic regulation and disease development will be examined.

This Special Issue aims to showcase innovative research and comprehensive reviews that deepen our understanding of oxidative mechanisms at a molecular level, identifying potential therapeutic targets and diagnostic biomarkers in the process.

We welcome contributions relating to the key molecules involved in redox imbalance and the associated regulatory pathways, such as poly(ADPribosyl)ation and transcription factors. These pathways coordinate adaptive responses by regulating the expression of antioxidant genes or promoting inflammation, respectively, in all living organisms.

This Special Issue is supervised by Dr. Anna De Maio, Dr. Carmen Di Giovanni, and Dr. Anna Rita Bianchi, with the valued support of Prof. Fadila Khaldi (Department of Biology, University of Souk Ahras).

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
