Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, which is related to the 4th International Symposium on Phytochemicals in Medicine and Food (4-ISPMF, Xi’an, Novermber 30-December 04, 2020, https://381313990.wixsite.com/4-ispmf), seeks updated and new knowledge on natural products from the marine environment. Marine drugs and functional foods have received increasing attention due to their considerable benefits for human health. This Special Issue will shape the future research direction of important marine bioresources. Our purpose is to feature high-quality, advanced research and knowledge contributed by various research groups working on natural marine products from all around the world. We invite researchers to contribute reviews and reports of their recent work on the functional and nutritional properties of natural products from the marine environment, as well as related biotechnological improvements. Please note that registration for the 4rd International Symposium on Phytochemicals in Medicine and Food is required for acceptance.
This Special Issue will focus on natural products from the marine environment, including the following aspects:
- Natural products from the marine environment for preventing and managing modern diseases;
- The importance of functional foods from the marine environment for human health;
- Bioactivity and function of edible marine plants and animals;
- New strategies of using marine drugs for promoting human health;
- Pharmacokinetics and biotransformation of marine drugs;
- Biotechnology for yielding bioactive components from the marine environment.
