Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The skin, given its considerable extension (the largest of any other organ in the body), together with the microbiota that colonizes it, is a fundamental mediator of the continuous and bidirectional flow of information and metabolites between the human organism and the environment that surrounds it. Much of this flow is in turn under the control of the redox system, which, in the skin, for evolutionary and adaptive reasons, is one of the most developed in the whole organism. The redox system is a biochemical system that allows skin cells to adapt to various stressors, physical (e.g., ultraviolet radiation), chemical (e.g., air pollutants), and biological (e.g., viruses, bacteria, and other pathogenic microorganisms) through modulation of signaling and defense pathways activated by the simple exchange of single electrons between oxidizing chemical species, molecular targets, and reducing/antioxidant chemical species. The correct functioning of the redox system (oxidative eu-stress) is fundamental for the well-being of the skin, from the epidermis to the dermis, up to the subcutaneous: in fact, most of the signaling and defense pathways linked to the inflammatory and regenerative response are under the control of the redox system. Any alteration of the redox system can favor the onset or aggravate the course of numerous inflammatory and degenerative skin diseases (oxidative stress). The purpose of this Special Issue is to promote the publication of studies and research on the functioning of the redox system of the skin and subcutaneous tissue in health and disease, with particular reference to biochemical, pathophysiological, clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic aspects (e.g., nutraceuticals, photobiomodulation, etc.), in the fields of dermatology and aesthetics and regenerative medicine.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
