Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The great increase of life expectancy is linked to the necessity of counteracting chronic-degenerative diseases, e.g., cancer, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular, and neurodegenerative diseases that affect a high percentage of the population. Since oxidative stress and inflammation are common features of these diseases and impact differently on function and structure of organs and tissues, the aim of this Special Issue is to collect original articles and reviews on this multifaceted topic that still remains largely unexplored, in order to provide support for the development of novel potential therapeutic approaches.
Suggested topics include but are not limited to:
- Cellular and molecular mechanisms to counteract oxidative stress and inflammation in aging and chronic diseases;
- Dietetic strategies for prevention of chronic diseases: oxidative stress as a target for interventions;
- Association of drugs with antioxidant or anti-inflammatory compounds for the therapy of chronic diseases.
