State-of-the-Art Bioactives and Nutraceuticals in Italy

Dear Colleagues,

This Colleaction aims to publish contributions that report on novel research findings regarding bioactive compounds and nutraceutical products in Italy. We welcome submissions concerning nutritional applications that use biological, chemical, cellular, molecular, and immunological methods. Topics include, but are not limited to:

• the discovery of novel bioactive natural products;
• the role of these products in manipulating food structure, and hence potential physiological mediation for human nutrition;
• the use of in vitro and in vivo bioactivity research using cell lines and animal models as exemplars of human physiology.

Please note that for this Colleaction, the main part of the study must have been carried out in Italy or by Italian researchers. Additionally, the exact active ingredient of the natural origin extract must be reported in the submitted research manuscript, since papers describing the effects of mixed extraction from natural origin are not within the scope of this journal.

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.
