Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nitric oxide (NO) is an essential signaling molecule present in most living organisms, including bacteria, fungi, plants, and animals. It participates in a wide range of biological processes, including vasomotor tone, neurotransmission, and immune response, and is highly reactive, able to give rise to reactive nitrogen and oxygen species that can modify a broad range of biomolecules.
The interplay between NO and redox mechanisms extends to diverse cellular processes, from regulating gene expression to mediating oxidative stress responses. Furthermore, the dysregulation of NO signaling or redox balance is implicated in numerous pathological conditions, such as cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, and cancer.
We invite authors to submit original research and review articles that will contribute to the understanding of the biochemical, cellular, and molecular mechanisms regulated by NO, attempting to uncover the intricate relationship between NO and redox mechanisms.
The contributions may include in silico, in vitro, and in vivo studies related to the following topics:
- Heme–protein interactions in NO signaling pathways;
- Redox control of heme-protein-dependent NO responses;
- The interplay between NO and antioxidant systems;
- NO and redox signaling in cancer biology;
- The influence of NO on inflammatory redox pathways;
- The role of NO in redox homeostasis.

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.
