Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nutrition and diet characterized by healthy components can exert positive effects at the cellular level.
Studies on molecular mechanisms modulated by natural extracts and the identification of biological effects are of great scientific interest.
The isolation and molecular characterization of these molecules from natural sources, associated with the study on cellular transport and proliferation, the regulation of enzyme activity, and pro- or anti-inflammatory effects, provides new knowledge in the biological field of nutrient-derived molecules.
In this Special Issue, we aim to provide new insights into naturally occurring molecules by encouraging authors to submit their research or reviews that will help to evaluate the nutraceutical role of naturally occurring molecules that could help to define the role of “functional foods”. In fact, the term “functional foods” should not only include their nutritional properties, but also their effects in terms of biological activity.
We look forward to receiving 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. Biology 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 2700 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.
