Curcumin: New Trends and Health Benefits

Dear Colleagues, 

Curcumin is a phytochemical substance that demonstrates powerful healing properties!

The properties of curcumin are antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. Therefore, curcumin is ideal for preventing and treating diseases associated with oxidative stress and inflammation. It is noteworthy that curcumin has been known for its wide range of beneficial effects over thousands of years. Still, the biological impact of this factor has only been understood in recent years.

Despite proven efficacy against numerous experimental models, poor bioavailability due to poor absorption, rapid metabolism, and rapid systemic elimination have been shown to limit the therapeutic efficacy of curcumin. Our goal is to invite relevant research teams, to provide new research on the mechanism of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory reaction in vitro and in vivo study. Also the possibility of increasing curcumin bioavailability. This Special Issue invites researchers to contribute reviews and original research reports of their recent work based on investigations of curcumin as an anti-inflammatory agent and anti-carcinogenic actions via modulating various signalling molecules, anticancer properties, and another acting.
