Genetic Bases of Neurodegenerative Disease

Dear Colleagues,

The scope of this Special Issue is to provide an overview of the current knowledge in the field of inherited motor neuron disorders. The investigation of these conditions could identify shared pathways that could be the target of specific therapies. There is a great interest in in vitro, in vivo and innovative models such as organoids to investigate the disease in detail and to use these models to test therapies. We invite scientists to contribute to this collection by submitting original research articles and reviews on the following themes:

• Pathogenetic mechanisms in motor neuron disease;
• Common mechanisms in neurodegenerative diseases and other conditions;
• Rare diseases that cause motor disorders;
• Diseases of neurometabolic nature;
• Motor diseases of genetic nature;
• Epilepsies caused by or related to metabolic deficiencies;
• Models of metabolic motor disorders: in vivo and in vitro models and organoids;
• Genotype–phenotype correlation.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
