Bioactive Compounds in the Prevention of Chronic Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

In order to resolve the need for a balanced and varied diet that is rich in bioactive compounds to combat the rising incidence of diseases such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and osteoporosis, we are interested in breakthrough experimental and technical progress of broad interest in biology, chemistry, and medicine on Bioactive Compounds in the Prevention of Chronic Diseases.

The bioactive compounds and their known metabolites including, but not limited to, polyphenols, fatty acids, proteins, dietary fibers, etc., play a crucial role in modulating inflammation and oxidative stress, which are key factors in chronic disease development. Additionally, the search for safer and more effective therapeutics for life-threatening diseases like cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases is ongoing. We encourage authors to focus on results at the molecular level and to submit their contributions to help the scientific community and society by extension to fully understand the effectiveness of the bioactive compounds in disease management.

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.
