Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Resveratrol (3, 5, 4′‐trihydroxystilbene; RSV) is a nonflavonoid polyphenol with a stilbene structure that naturally occurs as phytoalexin (an antimicrobial substance). RSV is found in larger amounts in grapes, peanuts, pistachios, plums, blueberries, cranberries, and cocoa fruits. The plants make RSV to fight fungal infection, ultraviolet radiation, stress, and injury. In the animal and human body, this translates into a number of health-promoting diverse biological activities such as strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiaging, antidiabetic, cardioprotective, neuroprotective, and anticancer properties. Moreover, based on its ability to bind to and activate the estrogen receptor, RSV is classified as a phytoestrogen.
Regardless of the significant problems with the safe and effective therapeutic use of RSV in clinical practice, which result from its inadequate bioavailability and poor solubility, laboratory test results continue to complement the range of therapeutic applications of RSV.
This Special Issue is dedicated to all aspects of the beneficial effects of RSV that have been confirmed in laboratory conditions and therefore constitute a rationale for further development and continuation of these studies in order to be implemented into clinical practice. When considering your submission, please keep in mind that IJMS is a journal of molecular science; therefore, the manuscript submitted for review should be of an appropriate “molecular” nature.

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.
