Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biomolecules welcomes submissions to a Special Issue focused on chemistry, biology, and medical applications, proposing a novel perspective in the era of nutraceuticals.
This Special Issue, "Next-Generation Nutraceuticals: Unlocking New Pathways for Cellular Health beyond the Foods", explores advanced nutraceuticals in promoting cellular health, focusing on salutogenesis and the prevention of chronic degenerative diseases. It aims to investigate how these substances extend the health span and potentially influence the lifespan, pushing the boundaries of traditional nutrition.
Central to our discussion is the interaction between nutraceuticals and cellular aging mechanisms, such as DNA methylation, telomere dynamics, and cellular senescence. These factors play crucial roles in chronic inflammation, immune balance, and the overall aging process. This Special Issue delves into salutogenesis, highlighting nutraceuticals' role in fostering health and strengthening individual and community health resources, particularly in the context of chronic diseases. This perspective aligns with the evolving evidence in health sciences that emphasizes wellness and a person-centered approach in healthcare.
Notably, this Special Issue will address the neuroprotective and immunomodulatory effects of nutraceuticals in neurodegenerative diseases. Given the increasing prevalence of age-related neurodegenerative conditions, understanding the impact of nutraceutical substances is imperative. These components show promise in modifying disease incidence through their influence on different molecular networks.
Overall, this Special Issue aims to provide a coherent, high-level academic platform, presenting the latest research on the potential of next-generation nutraceuticals in enhancing health and longevity.

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. Biomolecules 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 2700 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.
