Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Though advanced medical treatments using chemotherapy with synthetic drugs have contributed to human health for years, plants, or herbal mixtures and their compounds used for oriental prescriptions, are becoming increasingly attractive. This is due to their ability to enhance biological effects, such as immune, antithrombotic, and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as other pharmacologic activities, with little or no adverse responses. Hence, this Special Issue covers scientific findings in relation to the impact of plants and herbal mixtures and their compounds, as used for oriental prescriptions, as biological modifiers with strong molecular or pharmacological data in vitro or/and in vivo in the field of evidence-based medicine and molecular research. Furthermore, we invite authors to submit their novel and mechanistic studies for publication in IJMS.
Importantly, the exact active ingredient of the natural origin extract must be reported in the submitted research manuscript, as papers describing the effects of mixed extractions from natural origins do not fall within the scope of this journal.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
