Feature Papers in Bioactives and Nutraceuticals
This special issue belongs to the section “Bioactives and Nutraceuticals“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Topical Collection entitled “Feature Papers in Bioactives and Nutraceuticals” aims to collect high-quality research articles, communications, and review articles in the cutting-edge field of bioactive compounds and nutraceutical products. Since the aim of this Topical Collection is to illustrate, through selected works, frontier research in bioactives and nutraceuticals, we encourage Editorial Board Members of the Section of the International Journal of Molecular Sciences to contribute feature papers reflecting the latest progress in their research field or to invite relevant experts and colleagues to do so.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
- the discovery of novel bioactive natural products
- the role of these products in manipulating food structure and hence their potential physiological mediation for human nutrition
- the use of in vitro and in vivo bioactivity research involving cell lines and animal models as exemplars of human physiology
Prof. Dr. Maurizio Battino
