Neuronal Death and Regeneration

Dear Colleagues,

Neuronal demise occurs in many different settings—during development, as a result of acute traumatic or ischemic injury, and along the course of neurodegenerative diseases. Multiple mechanisms and cellular pathways, both generic and neuron-type-specific, contribute to neuronal death. On the other hand, axotomized neurons or those suffering otherwise from some form of somatic impairment might survive and regenerate. In particular, the regrowth of axons, re-myelination, and reinnervation are all processes in which enhancement would be of obvious clinical benefit.

For this Special Issue of Cells on ‘’Neuronal death and regeneration’’, we invite the submission of original research articles and reviews on neuronal/glial demise and regeneration in the central, peripheral, and enteric nervous systems. Manuscripts with significant depth and insight into cellular, genetic/epigenetic, and biochemical/physiological mechanisms and pathways are particularly welcomed.

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. Cells is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2700 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.
