'Oxidative stress and altered redox signaling have been described in a plethora of pathological conditions, such as inflammation, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders, among others. The concept of redox-active therapeutics explores the potential usefulness of redox-active molecules to modulate the etiology/progression of such diseases. Although the therapeutic potential of many natural and synthetic compounds has been suggested for decades, recent advances in molecular biology and pharmacology have strengthened this field of research by providing novel mechanistic insights, especially regarding the redox modulation of critical signaling pathways. The scope of this Special Issue is to give a broad and updated overview of the therapeutic potential of redox-active molecules, covering from fundamental science to clinical research, focused on the potential effects of either natural or synthetic compoundson different redox-related diseases.'
