Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Oxidative stress and systemic inflammation are connected processes that can influence and amplify each other. Oxidative stress can activate immune cells to release pro-inflammatory molecules and to generate reactive oxygen species, as part of their defense mechanisms. In turn, pro-inflammatory cytokines can trigger the generation of more radicals, creating a vicious cycle that sustains chronic inflammation and leads to tissue damage in various organs.
This Special Issue aims to highlight the current understanding of the bidirectional relationship between inflammation and oxidative stress and their role in the development and progression of various diseases and conditions such as cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, neurodegenerative and reproductive system disorders, diabetes and obesity, and cancer. Moreover, studies on how lifestyle factors (environmental exposures, antioxidant adjuvant treatments, diet, etc.) can contribute to the reduction or increase in the risk of these chronic conditions are welcome.
This Special Issue will accept original articles and reviews dealing with the molecular aspects of oxidative stress and systemic inflammation.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
