Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Over the last decades, several works have shown how the metabolic regulation of immune cells impacts their activation and effector function, consolidating a field called “immunometabolism”. These metabolic modulations control the bioenergetic and biosynthetic processes of immune cells and regulate their responses during infections and autoimmune diseases. Oxidation–reduction (redox) reactions are indispensable for properly regulating biochemical reactions that maintain cell metabolism, making them essential for the maintenance of life. Different immune cells that perform specific functions utilize a distinct number of metabolic pathways to generate the energy levels necessary to perform their activities and produce biosynthetic intermediates that allow them to function properly. Moreover, the redox reactions associated with electron transference among the metabolic pathways can produce oxidative molecules that contribute to the effector function of immune cells, but also may cause tissue damage through an uncontrolled inflammatory response. This Special Issue aims to report on the latest knowledge about the relationship between redox regulation and metabolic and functional control of immune cells, focusing on the role of the redox balance in homeostasis and diseases.

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. Antioxidants is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
