Feature Review Collection of Natural Products
This special issue belongs to the section “Natural Products“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
For centuries, natural products (NPs) have been recognized for their therapeutic properties, offering solutions for a wide range of diseases and ailments. Even in modern times, their chemical diversity makes NPs valuable not only in the pharmaceutical field but also in industries such as cosmetics, food, and agriculture. This collection aims to explore the most recent advances and cutting-edge research on the diverse roles of NPs across various sectors.
The Topical Collection "Feature Review Collection of Natural Products” is open to reviews that address all aspects of natural compounds and extracts. We welcome reviews that consider not only the benefits of natural products in health and wellness but also their broader applications and the challenges they present. Discussions on their regulatory aspects and environmental impacts are also encouraged.
We invite you to submit comprehensive reviews that provide in-depth insights into current trends and challenges in the use of NPs. Your insights and expertise on this important topic would greatly enrich the collection.
