Prevention, Management and Treatment of Bone-Related Diseases Using Natural Products

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue on natural products aims to provide a comprehensive overview of their potential use in the prevention, management, and treatment of a wide range of bone-related diseases such as osteoporosis, inflammatory joint diseases, osteopetrosis, diabetes mellitus, obesity, and bone cancer. Natural products are a rich source of bioactive compounds with valuable applications in several industries, such as pharmaceuticals, medicine, food, and biotechnology. The high structural and physicochemical diversity of natural molecules produced by plants, fungi, microorganisms, and insects makes them a practically inexhaustible resource with the potential to aid in the discovery and development of new bioactive compounds with applications in the aforementioned industries. There is a growing interest in medicinal and bioactive compounds obtained from natural products for their significant health benefits.

We invite original research articles and review articles covering the molecular, biochemical, morphological, pharmaceutical, and medical aspects of these topics. We look forward to your valuable contributions and advances in the field of natural products associated with bone-related diseases.
