Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The main role of platelets is to control bleeding and repair vascular damage via thrombosis. Platelets are implicated in atherosclerotic complications such as myocardial infarction, stroke and peripheral arterial disease. Recently, platelets activation has also been studied in other diseases. For example, platelets have also been implicated in tumor metastasis through platelet–tumor cell interactions. There are several mechanisms that promote platelet activation. Oxidative stress is one that plays a pivotal role in platelet activation. Several enzymes that produce reactive oxidant species (ROS), such as nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase, myeloperoxidase (MPO) and uncoupled nitric oxide synthase (NOS), determine a pro-inflammatory status that could interact with other immune cells and secrete various biochemical mediators to promote several diseases, such as cancer and neurodegenerative disease.
This Special Issue aims to analyze the pathophysiological role of platelet activation in several diseases. We intend to collect papers which investigate the mechanisms associated with platelet activation in relation to oxidative stress, metabolic and inflammatory processes.

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.
