Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Oxidative stress and inflammation are intricately linked processes that play pivotal roles in the development and progression of a wide range of chronic diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, cancer, diabetes, and autoimmune conditions. The equilibrium between oxidative stress and the body’s antioxidant defense systems, along with the precise regulation of inflammatory pathways, is essential for maintaining physiological homeostasis. The disruption of this delicate balance often results in tissue damage and contributes significantly to the pathogenesis of various diseases.
This Special Issue seeks to consolidate cutting-edge research and comprehensive reviews that delve into the molecular mechanisms bridging oxidative stress and inflammation. We are particularly interested in studies that elucidate their roles in disease pathogenesis and explore innovative therapeutic strategies aimed at mitigating these processes. Submissions are encouraged on topics including the following:
- Mechanisms of oxidative stress and inflammation;
- Oxidative stress and inflammation in disease pathogenesis;
- Therapeutic strategies targeting oxidative stress and inflammation;
- Role of natural products and phytochemicals;
- Nanotechnology and drug delivery systems.
We invite researchers to contribute original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and short communications that advance our understanding of the role of oxidative stress and inflammation in cancer. Your work will be instrumental in shaping future research directions and improving therapeutic strategies for cancer patients.
We look forward to your contributions to this critical and rapidly evolving field.

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. BioChem is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 (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.
