Multiple Sclerosis: The Latest Developments in Immunology and Therapy

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue of the journal IJMS is about the publication of research articles that deal with the immunological, molecular and cellular changes and peculiarities in patients with multiple sclerosis. Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease that suddenly affects many people. To date, it is not really clear what changes cause patients to become ill. Apparently, MS is an autoimmune disease, a disorder of the immune system that activates the cells of the immune system against the body’s own structures. There are several foci in the central nervous system. As an expression of these lesions, patients experience sensory disturbances and movement disorders. These physical limitations are often a shock for patients and literally take their lives away.

The aim of this Issue is to bring together the current state of research on the molecular level of the disease. What disorders of the immune system are found in connection with the disease? Can these new findings possibly help to treat the disease on a molecular level in the near future?

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.
