Bio-Functional Natural Products in Edible Resources for Human Health and Beauty

Dear Colleagues,

Natural products remain important repositories of promising therapeutic candidates due to their rich chemical and biological diversity. The Special Issue on "Biofunctional Natural Products in Edible Resources for Human Health and Beauty" is intended to offer biological active natural products from edible resources as candidates and/or leads for pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements, functional foods, cosmetics, food additives, etc. The research fields of this Special Issue include natural products chemistry, phytochemistry, pharmacognosy, food chemistry, bioorganic chemistry, chemical biology, molecular biology, molecular pharmacology, and other related research fields of bioactive natural products obtained from the edible resources. Here, we encourage investigators to consider submitting reviews, regular research papers, and short communications focusing on the different aspects. I look forward to receiving many submissions from outstanding experts in these research fields.
