Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bioactive phytochemicals are obtained from plants. These are ingredients of pharmaceutics, nutrition, and cosmetics products as well they are used in medicine. The knowledge of the molecular processes involved in the human health-promoting applications of the wide plethora of phytochemicals is desired to obtain specific products.
This Special Issue focuses on recent studies that evaluated the obtaining, identification, and uses of bioactive phytochemicals with a special aim to elucidate the molecular mode of action and the cellular pathways involved in metabolic diseases, skin diseases, cancer, etc. Studies providing information on their molecular targets, their effects on cell/organ/organism level, and how they can modulate different cellular pathways and functions are welcomed. This special issue aims to elucidate the molecular basis for phytochemicals-containing pharmaceutics, nutraceuticals, and the development of new drugs.

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.
