Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metabolites from marine organisms have been shown to possess a wide range of biological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, anticancer, and immunomodulatory effects, and they are expected to have sustainable applications in pharmaceuticals, functional foods, and medicinal cosmetics.
We welcome the submission of high-quality review articles and research papers focused on the above topics to highlight the mechanisms of action of marine-derived bioactive substances. We welcome submissions from everyone who shares our commitment to the sustainable use of marine natural resources.
Prof. Dr. Junsei Taira
Guest Editor
