Dear Colleagues,

We define the toxic agents as the chemical substances which disturb homeostatic balance in the process of life. It can sometimes cause death. Some molecule, metal ion, cluster (nano meter sized crystal) and complex substance of them can be toxic. But we have to think about it much deep. For example, carcinogenic substance and toxic substance might be known as belonging to the different notions. Asbestos, however, causes methoterioma 30 years after the exposure, leading to death. Can it be called toxic agent? For another example, workers in saltpeter mine have a chance of Nitric Oxide (NO) poisoning. Because the blood concentration of NO is lowest on Monday morning, the number of angina cases is highest. Though the more we extend the definition, the more we have to deal with so many topics on the toxic agents, we urge researchers from variety of fields to submit for this issue.

Papers will be published continuously (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as 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 refereed through a peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. The International Journal of Molecular Sciences 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 1000 CHF per accepted paper.
