Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The recent years have provided new insights into the identification and characterization of new properties of melatonin, vitamin D, and their metabolites. Numerous studies have revealed new biological capacities and health-related or clinical applications for these substances including neurodegeneration, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and many others. Recent advances have revised or identified new mechanisms of their action that involve defining specific receptors or regulatory proteins or organelles such as mitochondria mediating their phenotypic activity, and have established precise mechanisms of the metabolic activation and/or inactivation of these compounds. These advances define novel pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmeceutical targets for improving health in the chemoprevention or treatment of different diseases.
The goal of this Special Issue titled “Melatonin and Vitamin D in Diseases and Health” is to collect the latest research findings on a broad range of research topics concerning the effects of dietary factors on a variety of health aspects. We welcome original experimental research, review articles, and commentary articles leading to a better understanding of the biological actions of nutritional factors, their role in disease pathogenesis, and their potential roles in preventive healthcare and treatment.
