Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Natural products have long served as valuable sources of bioactive compounds for the prevention and treatment of inflammatory and oxidative stress-related skin disorders. Skin inflammation is closely associated with excessive reactive oxygen species production, impaired barrier function, immune dysregulation, and tissue remodeling, contributing to conditions such as atopic dermatitis, acne, psoriasis, wound healing disorders, photoaging, and other dermatologic diseases. Recent advances in pharmacological, molecular, and translational research have provided new opportunities to clarify the mechanisms of natural products and to identify promising therapeutic candidates. This Special Issue aims to collect high-quality original research articles and comprehensive reviews focusing on natural products, herbal medicines, phytochemicals, marine-derived compounds, fermented products, and natural product-based formulations for skin inflammation and oxidative stress. Studies addressing antioxidant and anti-inflammatory mechanisms, skin barrier regulation, immune modulation, cellular senescence, tissue repair, pharmacological validation, safety, and translational applications are particularly welcome. Reviews and integrative studies using network pharmacology or other computational approaches are also welcome.
