Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Natural substances exhibit diverse biological functions and play a crucial role in regulating cellular, organismal, and individual health. They can also exert potent biological effects. While pinpointing a precise molecular target within such extracts may be challenging, they still hold promise for therapeutic applications. This Special Issue focuses on investigating the biological activity of natural compounds from either plants, animals, insects, or microorganisms, emphasizing their clear and robust effects compared to existing therapies. State-of-the-art research including studies involving animals and humans will form a significant part of this Special Issue.
