Ścibior, AgnieszkaAureliano, ManuelLlopis, Juan2024-05-132024-05-132024-05-03International Journal of Molecular Sciences 25 (9): 4982 (2024)http://hdl.handle.net/10400.1/20719This Special Issue (SI), ”Emerging Topics in Metal Complexes: Pharmacological Activity”, includes reports updating our knowledge on metals with multidirectional biological properties and metal-containing compounds/complexes for their potential therapeutic applications, with a focus on strategies improving their pharmacological features. The current SI also refers to the biofortification process, which, in the near future, may become a promising source of dietary enrichment with elements important for human health. The scientific articles making up the current SI, i.e., one review and eight original papers (nine in total), garnered a total of six citations and over 8600 visualizations (April 2024). A graphical summary of the content included in this Special Issue is presented in Figure 1, showing a central image with seven hexagons reflecting the seven papers on antitumor, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and CT-imaging properties, flanked by one hexagon each side for the biofortification of wheat sprouts with iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), magnesium (Mg), and chromium (Cr), which can effectively stimulate plant growth (right) and by the influence of vanadium (V) in human neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) (left).engEmerging topics in metal complexes: Pharmacological activityjournal article2024-05-1010.3390/ijms250949821422-0067
