Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the global rise in health conditions associated with oxidative stress and chronic inflammation, there is a growing need for effective, safe, and sustainable therapeutic approaches. Phytochemicals that exhibit antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties have emerged as promising candidates for the prevention and treatment of a wide range of diseases, from metabolic disorders to neurodegenerative conditions and beyond. This Topical Collection, "Harnessing Nature’s Power: Antioxidants and Anti-Inflammatory Natural Compounds in Health and Disease", seeks to highlight the latest advances in the identification, mechanistic understanding, and application of these bioactive compounds. We welcome original research and comprehensive reviews addressing novel phytochemical sources and their molecular mechanisms of action, including their impacts on cellular signaling pathways, immune modulation, and the gut microbiota, as well as the preclinical and clinical evaluations of these phytochemicals. Submissions on interdisciplinary research concerned with the interface of nutrition, medicine, and biotechnology are also highly encouraged. This Topical Collection aims to advance both scientific understanding and practical applications of nature-derived compounds in combating diseases linked to oxidative stress and chronic inflammation.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. 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. Nutrients is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
