Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Living organisms are continuously and inadvertently exposed to an array of insults that produce reactive oxygen species, eventually predisposing them to oxidative stress. Oxidative stress, an imbalance in the redox homeostasis of the cell, impacts almost all acute and chronic progressive disorders and, on a cellular basis, is intimately linked to aging, cardiovascular disease, cancer, immune function, metabolism, and neurodegeneration. A large body of evidence supports the notion that dietary antioxidants are useful protectors against oxidative stress and play an important role in preventing human diseases. Since oxidative stress is a complex condition, new insights into its cellular and molecular mechanisms in several organ systems and techniques and markers for assessing it are void areas that need to be filled by scientific contributions in these aspects.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Cellular and molecular insights into oxidative stress;
- Antioxidant defense system;
- New sources of antioxidants;
- Xenobiotics toxicity;
- Toxicological aspects in oxidative stress;
- Oxidative stress and disease relation;
- Biomarkers of oxidative stress;
- Interactions among antioxidants.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to encourage researchers to submit original research and review articles that address all aspects of environmental pollutants and their mechanisms of action linked with oxidative stress, inflammation, and cell death in human diseases or using animal models. This Special Issue aims to attract research that will translate this knowledge into new public strategies.

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. Toxics 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
