Applications of Antioxidant Nanoparticles

<p><span style=color: rgba(23 43 77 1)>Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are essential in regulating various physiological functions. However the overproduction of ROS can be related to many diseases. Antioxidant administration represents an effective strategy to treat oxidative stress. In recent decades nanotechnology and nanoparticles have received great interest and seen applications in many fields from pharmaceutics to cosmetics and food. For instance lipid nanoparticles due to their green characteristics related to their biodegradation and non-toxicity have received significant attention as a carrier for antioxidant molecules. Over the past few decades significant achievements have been made in the development of antioxidant nanotherapies exhibiting multiple advantages.</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(23 43 77 1)>This Special Issue collects recent advances in the design production characterization use and effect of antioxidant nanoparticles including polymeric or lipid-based nanoparticles ROS-scavenging inorganic nanoparticles organic nanoparticles with intrinsic antioxidant activity and drug-loaded antioxidant nanoparticles to be administered by different routes. In other words articles focus on the use of antioxidant nanoparticles in the biomedical pharmaceutical and cosmetic field as well as in the food sector.</span></p>
