Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Marine fungi are a promising source of biologically active and structurally diverse secondary metabolites and have provided drug leads for the treatment of numerous diseases. However, the potential of marine natural products (MNPs) as effective drugs for osteoporosis treatment is an understudied area. Additionally, very few osteoblast differentiation promotors have been isolated from natural sources. Therefore, the identification of bioactive small molecules that target osteoblasts represents a new direction in the search for antiosteoporosis candidate drugs. This Special Issue will collect manuscripts that highlight the antiosteoporosis activities or mechanism of new secondary metabolites from deep-sea-derived marine fungi. Original research articles, reviews, and communications are welcome.

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. Journal of Fungi is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.
