Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a crucial role in regulating various physiological functions. However, their excessive production is closely linked to the development of numerous diseases. The administration of antioxidants has emerged as an effective therapeutic strategy against oxidative stress. Additionally, in recent decades, the field of nanotechnology has witnessed significant advancements, and nanoparticles have found applications in a wide range of industries, such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food production. Notably, lipid nanoparticles have garnered considerable attention due to their environmentally friendly attributes, including biodegradability and non-toxicity, making them an ideal carrier for antioxidant molecules. These innovations have led to remarkable progress in the development of antioxidant nanotherapies, offering a multitude of advantages.
Considering the increased interest in this field, we are pleased to announce this new Special Issue, "Applications of Antioxidant Nanoparticles, 2nd Edition", a continuation of the fruitful first edition (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/antioxidants/special_issues/antioxidant_nanoparticles).
In this edition too, we will continue our efforts to compile the latest breakthroughs in the design, production, characterization, and utilization of antioxidant nanoparticles in biomedical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food sectors. Potential topics include, but not limited to, the following:
- Polymeric and lipid-based nanoparticles;
- Inorganic nanoparticles with ROS-scavenging properties;
- Organic nanoparticles with intrinsic antioxidant capabilities;
- Drug-loaded antioxidant nanoparticles suitable for various administration routes.

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
