Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Interfering with metabolism, inflammation, and oxidative stress is essential for managing various human diseases. Numerous recent studies have demonstrated strong links between cellular metabolism, inflammation, and oxidative stress, which contribute to the pathophysiology of conditions such as diabetes, aging, cardiovascular diseases, neurological disorders, and cancer. Strategies targeting these processes could offer therapeutic benefits. Specifically, dietary interventions, pharmacological agents, anti-inflammatory drugs, and lifestyle modifications like regular exercise and stress reduction can help control disease development and progression. Additionally, nutritional supplements, natural antioxidants, and phytochemicals that regulate various molecular signaling pathways may play crucial preventive roles in disease control. Emerging therapies, including gene editing, stem cell therapy, next-generation sequencing, regenerative medicine, and microbiome manipulation, show promise in modulating cellular metabolism, inflammatory responses, and oxidative stress for future treatments.
This Special Issue aims to provide an updated overview of the complex interplay between metabolic imbalance, chronic inflammation, and oxidative stress in the pathophysiology of human diseases. It invites contributions in the form of structural and computational studies, functional analyses, preclinical and clinical research, and comprehensive reviews, focusing on novel strategies targeting metabolism, inflammation, and oxidative stress to control various human pathologies.

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. 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.
