Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiovascular, neurological, gastroenterological, immunological, tumoral, and metabolomic diseases are increasing epidemiological problems with a high level of prevalence within the population.
Environmental factors, including climate change, global warming, and air, water, and soil pollution, are the main risk factors of those multifactorial pathologies.
Oxidative stress, immunological response abnormalities, and hormone and metal dyshomeostasis are only a few of the biochemical processes associated with civilization diseases. A better understanding of the molecular pathways involved in pathogenesis and disease progress in relation to environmental and behavioral factors is needed for better diagnosis and treatment.
We invite you to publish original and review articles that present advances in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of civilization diseases, alongside insights into the molecular markers of the impact of environmental and behavioral factors on human health.

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).
