Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue, entitled “Therapeutic Effects of Natural Bioactive Compounds in the Management of Human Diseases: 2nd Edition”, welcomes high-quality research articles and review articles focusing on targets and molecular mechanisms underlying several common pathological conditions related to increased oxidative stress and inflammatory processes and their possible modulation through natural bioactive compounds. Recently, these molecules have attracted considerable attention due to their potential employment as low-toxicity therapies that can prevent or reduce chronic disease-induced damage or restore damaged cells.
The extraordinary activity of functional bioactives is displayed via their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-glycant properties, which collectively provide a potential new strategy in the management of several pathological conditions (e.g., diabetes, obesity, and rheumatic and neurodegenerative diseases, among others). Understanding the molecular and functional mechanisms and/or pathways through which these substances may support human health remains an open question worth exploring. From this perspective, studies using animal, as well as cell-based models, are welcome.

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. Current Issues in Molecular Biology 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 2200 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.
