Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ageing is currently defined as a dynamic process that involves the gradual and global accumulation of biological dysfunctions, resulting in the failure of homeostasis, increased sensitivity to all major chronic diseases, including neurodegeneration and cardiovascular disease, frailty, and eventually death. In recent years, scientific researchers have attempted to develop theories that explain the ageing process and define its molecular basis. Continuous, unrepaired oxidative damage has been implicated in several hallmarks of ageing, including loss of proteostasis, telomere shortening, DNA damage accumulation, and cellular senescence. This close relationship between oxidative damage and the ageing process has been established in various model systems, while the improvement of anti-oxidant defenses and dietary antioxidants are capable of extending the (healthy) lifespan of model organisms and alleviating the pathology of age-related diseases. A deep understanding of the molecular pathways involved in redox balance and the identification of the optimal conditions for antioxidant modulation will be crucial for successful clinical applications.
We invite you to submit your latest research findings or a review article to this Special Issue, which will bring together the current research concerning the role of redox status manipulation to alleviate ageing and the relevant disease states. This research can include both in vitro and in vivo studies related to any of the following topics: antioxidants, nutraceuticals, diet, regulation of redox homeostasis, proteostasis, cellular stress, ageing and age-related disease, neuroscience, cell signaling and metabolism, bioenergetics, hormesis.
We look forward to your contributions.

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.
