Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue welcomes studies addressing various aspects of cellular responses to oxidative stress. We are particularly interested in research on redox homeostasis, mechanisms of ROS generation and detoxification, and the cellular adaptations that preserve physiological functions under oxidative challenges. Contributions exploring intracellular signaling pathways involved in the regulation of cell fate, metabolism, inflammation, and stress tolerance are highly encouraged.
We also seek submissions focused on antioxidant defense systems, including both endogenous and exogenous compounds, with an emphasis on their mechanisms of action and translational potential. Additionally, we welcome studies investigating the roles of ion channels and membrane transporters in maintaining ionic equilibrium, membrane integrity, metabolic balance, and resilience against oxidative injury.
Finally, particular attention will be given to the structure and function of red blood cells, including erythrocyte membrane organization, hemoglobin-associated redox processes, transport pathways, and intrinsic antioxidant mechanisms that safeguard their physiological performance.
We invite original research articles, reviews, and short communications that provide innovative insights into how cells maintain physiological equilibrium and functional integrity when challenged by oxidative stress.

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. Physiologia is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.
