Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Climate change is a global phenomenon that is increasingly affected by anthropogenic pressure causing adverse events that are leading to the loss of biodiversity and food security, as well as increased risks to human health. In recent decades, this has led to a growth in space-oriented studies, in accordance with the ‘Sustainable Development Goals’ to prepare humans for space missions. Life is heading toward the edges of existence, and it is the reason why there is a need to learn more about life in Earth’s environments and beyond. It is critical that we fully understand the mechanisms of adaptation of living organisms to different and adverse conditions. Mitochondria play a vital role in many physiological adaptations. They are the center of energy generation, redox homeostasis, cellular signaling, and cell survival. These organelles are very sensitive to environmental stimuli that can lead to changes in mitochondrial function and integrity, having many consequences for the cell’s performance and fitness. This Special Issue is aimed at providing selected contributions to advances in our knowledge about cellular adaptations to extreme conditions, focusing on mitochondria.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the effects on the mitochondrial population of:
- Metabolic adaptations to extreme environments;
- Metabolic adaptations to extreme conditions;
- Mitochondrial adaptations;
- Adverse effects of extreme conditions;
- Cellular stress response to extreme conditions;
- Cellular adaptations to extreme conditions.

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.
