Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Inflammation lies at the root of various diseases, posing significant challenges to healthcare globally. Natural products, ranging from phytochemicals to herbal extracts, have been spotlighted due to their diverse molecular targets and mechanisms of action. Over the past few decades, researchers have uncovered the intricate signaling cascades through which these compounds exert anti-inflammatory effects, offering insights into drug discovery and development.
However, we still lack a deeper understanding of how natural products can be harnessed therapeutically to improve patient outcomes in the realm of inflammatory diseases. Further, there are many more potential natural products with roles in inflammatory disease management and treatment that are yet to be developed.
This Special Issue welcomes cutting-edge research papers and comprehensive reviews that elucidate the intricate interplay between inflammatory pathways, cellular signaling, and disease progression. We also welcome papers exploring the potential of natural products as therapeutic agents and delving into their diverse molecular targets and mechanisms of action.

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. Current Issues in Molecular Biology 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 2200 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.
