Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There are various bio-resonances in the ocean. There are various and powerful bioactive substances in these organisms. In addition, among these bioactive substances, sterol has been known for its anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, anti-hypertensive, and anti-cancer effects. In particular, sterol has a strong anticancer effect and has been widely used as an anti-cancer ingredient. Moreover, marine biological resources have conjugated forms such as glucoconjugated sterols as well as free sterols, and it is known that the type and strength of efficacy varies depending on the structural characteristics of the components connected to them. Therefore, in this Special Issue, we would like to introduce the anti-cancer efficacy and mechanism of sterols derived from marine organisms against cancer, and studies that can efficiently isolate and identify sterols with this anti-cancer effect from marine materials. Both original and review articles are welcome.

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. Marine Drugs is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
