The Benefits of Natural Products for Disease Treatments
This special issue belongs to the section “Phytochemicals and Human Health“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Natural products have long been recognized for their potential therapeutic benefits, and recent advances in research have led to a renewed interest in exploring their therapeutic potential. At our journal, we aim to publish high-quality research on the use of natural products in treating various diseases, with a particular focus on their potential as novel therapeutic agents.
We are pleased to announce that we are now accepting manuscripts related to natural product research for publication in the Special Issue “The Benefits of Natural Products for Disease Treatments”. Our journal welcomes submissions related to bioactive natural products with therapeutic potential, as well as molecular-level studies of pharmacological activity by natural products. Specifically, we are interested in manuscripts that focus on the use of natural products in the treatment and prevention of cancer, metabolic diseases such as diabetes and obesity, and related conditions.
We welcome original research articles and reviews on the use of natural products in disease prevention and treatment. Our goal is to provide a platform for researchers to share their insights, ideas, and findings on natural product research, with the ultimate aim of improving health outcomes for patients worldwide.
