Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Aging is a complex biological process that may be closely linked with various age-related diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and cancer. A high number of scientific reports support the evidence that oxidative stress, a condition often characterized by an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the body's antioxidant defense mechanisms, should play a pivotal role in the progression of these aging-related diseases.

Research on the activity of low-dose toxicants, such as xenobiotics and ozone, which usually work following hormetic or non-linear mechanisms, is rapidly increasing, creating new hopes and opportunities for the scientific research in this field, thereby providing experts with novel chances in attempting new therapy approaches and certainty in enhancing the basic research on cell complexity and biology.

Evidence regarding the role of phytochemicals, xenobiotics, and ozone, the major antioxidant molecules, in addressing the biological basis of aging-related neurodegenerative disorders, is impacting this field of medicine.

This Special Issue aims to explore the multifaceted role of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of age-related diseases, delving into the molecular mechanisms, signaling pathways, and potential therapeutic interventions, particularly focusing on the role of xenobiotic antioxidants. We invite contributions that investigate how oxidative stress influences cellular aging, promotes tissue degeneration, and contributes to chronic inflammation and metabolic dysfunction. Studies on antioxidant therapies, lifestyle interventions, and novel biomarkers for oxidative damage are particularly welcome.

Through this collection of research articles and reviews, we aspire to foster advancements in the prevention and treatment of age-related diseases, enhancing the quality of life for the aging population.

We invite you to submit your manuscripts, which we consider to be excellent opportunity to deeply comprehend these issues, preferably by 30 March 2025, by joining this endeavor and sending your availability to collaborate as well as your Abstract for which the deadline is 31 December 2024.

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. Antioxidants 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 2900 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.
