New Insights into Reactive Oxygen Species in Cell Death and Immunity

Dear Colleagues,

You are invited to contribute to a Special Issue of Biomolecules entitled “New Insights into Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) in Cell Death and Immunity”. This Issue aims to assemble a comprehensive collection of research and review articles focusing on ROS (e.g., superoxide anion, hydrogen peroxide, hydroxyl radical, singlet oxygen, peroxynitrite, hypochlorous acid, and others) in cell death pathways (e.g., apoptosis, autophagy, mitophagy, pyroptosis, necrosis, necroptosis, NETosis, METosis, ETosis, and others) and immune response.

This Issue will cover topics including, but not limited to, understanding the role of ROS in infection, inflammation, autoimmunity, metabolic dysregulation, tissue damage, aging and other disorders (e.g., diabetes, obesity, genetic, rare, cancer, lung, kidney, cardiovascular and other diseases), as well as investigating therapeutic targets and strategies for ROS regulation (e.g., drugs).

We also welcome papers that focus on ROS-modulating organelles (e.g., mitochondria, peroxisomes, endoplasmic reticulum, nucleus, lysosomes, plasma membrane, and others), ROS-modulating enzymes (e.g., superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, peroxiredoxins, glutathione reductase, NADPH oxidases, mitochondrial electron transport chain enzymes, and others), the interplay between ROS and other reactive molecules (e.g., nitric oxide, nitrogen dioxide, nitrous oxide, nitryl chloride and others), techniques to detect ROS, and models to study ROS in vivo and in vitro.

A given paper could focus on more than one of the topics outlined above.

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. Biomolecules 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.
