Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, the importance of the respiratory system and the need for novel therapeutic strategies for respiratory diseases have been highlighted by SARS-CoV-2. The airways are constantly exposed to various inhaled pollutants and microbes, which induce oxidative stress and inflammation. Oxidative stress, known to increase the risk of developing many acute and chronic respiratory diseases, is defined by an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species and the capacity of antioxidants to counteract the deleterious effects of oxidants. Normal healthy lungs protect themselves against these oxidants with cellular and extracellular antioxidant defense mechanisms throughout the epithelial lining fluid and tissues. Recently, novel therapeutic targets have been implicated in the prevention or treatment of respiratory diseases by modulating oxidative stress and inflammation. This Special Issue focuses on new models and new approaches to modulate oxidative stress and inflammation in the pathophysiology and treatment of respiratory 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.
