Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Oxidative stress is a process of high interest for researchers around the world. Diverse signal recognition receptors and signal transduction pathways have been defined that regulate mitochondrial functions, apoptosis, and development. A perturbation of the equilibrium between reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidant molecules in the cell leads to signalling pathways that cause pathophysiological processes and diseases. Therefore, the understanding of the diverse signalling molecules, signal recognition mechanisms, and signal transduction pathways is fundamental for gaining insight into physiological and pathophysiological processes. This open access Special Issue will combine original research and review articles on oxidative stress. It highlights discoveries, approaches, and technical developments in oxidative stress research with a special interest in molecular data. The main feature of this Special Issue is to advance our understanding of oxidative stress processes in several diseases, which may lead to the discovery of novel molecular diagnostic technologies and targeted therapeutics.
Therefore, authors are invited to submit original research and review articles that address the progress and current standing of cellular signalling processes.
Topics of this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:
- Key biological processes such as cell cycle, DNA repair, apoptosis, autophagy, angiogenesis, invasion and metastasis.
- Mitochondrial mechanisms.
- Degenerative diseases.
- Cancer epidemiology and prevention.
- Oxidative agents and their molecular effects.
- Antioxidant therapy: target discovery, drug design, nutrition, targeted therapy, nanomaterials, personalized medicine.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
