Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the cell system, the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) can cause cell damage, affect the structure and function of membrane lipids, proteins and nucleic acids, and ultimately lead to cell death. Previous studies have shown that inhibiting ROS-induced cell damage may inhibit disease generation. ROS is considered to be an important mechanism leading to a variety of diseases, such as infections, eye diseases such as diabetic retinopathy (DR), and age-related macular degeneration (AMD), as well as brain, lung, colorectal, and liver cancers. Antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents have been shown to protect health, such as flavonoids and phenolic acids, and their derivatives, carotenoids, terpenoids, vitamins, and others have been identified and quantified in various plants. To further clarify the basic molecular mechanism of antioxidants in the process of disease and to further understand their interaction may pave the way for new treatment strategies for diseases. This Special Issue focuses on how natural antioxidants regulate ROS to downregulate the onset of diseases.

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. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
