Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Inflammatory processes are known to play an active role in a large part of neural disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, acute traumatic and vascular brain injury.
Among the molecules actively involved in neuroinflammatory processes, proteins—known to be required for the structure, function, and regulation of different tissues and organs in health and disease due to their structural complexity—are regarded as playing a crucial role. Damage/Danger-Associated Molecular Pattern proteins and inflammasomes are protein molecules currently regarded as explicitly involved in these physiopathological mechanisms.
Thus, a deeper understanding of the role of proteins in neuroinflammatory processes would significantly contribute to the knowledge of these disorders and would help to identify possible therapeutic targets.
In this Special Issue, we aim to cover all aspects of the current landscape of research in the role of protein molecules involved in neuroinflammatory processes as pathogenic effectors, and as a consequence as possible therapeutic targets, but also as diagnostic, prognostic and predictive biomarkers.

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.
