Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Oxidative stress, as a mechanism underlying many clinical conditions, is well known to play a crucial role in the development of renal disease as well as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancers. However, the complex associations of oxidative status with hormones and inflammation are still far from being completely understood, since reciprocal and opposite influences can be exerted between these pathogenic factors. In addition, various nuclear factors and receptors involved in the regulation of antioxidant defense, nitric oxide production, inflammation, energy, and/or iron metabolism provide new targets for the prevention and treatment of renal disease and comorbid diseases.
Recent data have demonstrated that natural antioxidants can modulate oxidative stress and improve immune function. Thus, the role of compounds with antioxidant properties that promote health and counteract oxidative stress in the renal disease is worth investigating further. An exhaustive understanding of the role of the involvement of antioxidants in redox modulation would be useful for potential interventions and, subsequently, promoting health.
Therefore, we aim to publish a Special Issue which can cover a wide spectrum, from biological to translational studies, in the field of renal disorders.
This Special Issue will gather reviews and original data that focus on defining the following:
- Abnormalities in the antioxidant system in patients with renal diseases;
- Antioxidant therapeutics;
- Biomarkers and diagnostic methods in oxidative stress.

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.
