Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a crucial role in regulating various physiological functions. However, their excessive production is closely linked to the development of numerous diseases. The administration of antioxidants has emerged as an effective therapeutic strategy against oxidative stress. Additionally, in recent decades, the field of nanotechnology has witnessed significant advancements, and nanoparticles have found applications in a wide range of industries, such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food production. Notably, lipid nanoparticles have garnered considerable attention due to their environmentally friendly attributes, including biodegradability and non-toxicity, making them an ideal carrier for antioxidant molecules. These innovations have led to remarkable progress in the development of antioxidant nanotherapies, offering a multitude of advantages.
Considering the increased interest in this field, we are pleased to announce this new Special Issue, "Applications of Antioxidant Nanoparticles, 2nd Edition", a continuation of the fruitful first edition (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/antioxidants/special_issues/antioxidant_nanoparticles).
In this edition too, we will continue our efforts to compile the latest breakthroughs in the design, production, characterization, and utilization of antioxidant nanoparticles in biomedical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food sectors. Potential topics include, but not limited to, the following:
- Polymeric and lipid-based nanoparticles;
- Inorganic nanoparticles with ROS-scavenging properties;
- Organic nanoparticles with intrinsic antioxidant capabilities;
- Drug-loaded antioxidant nanoparticles suitable for various administration routes.
