Neurotrauma: Mechanisms, Pathways, and Emerging Therapeutic Interventions

Dear Colleagues,

Neurotrauma encompasses traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries. Its pathophysiological mechanisms, particularly primary injuries followed by secondary cascades like inflammation, oxidative stress, and excitotoxicity, merit further elucidation and serve as treatment targets. This Special Issue of Biomedicines focuses on the molecular and cellular pathways associated with neurotrauma. We aim to address advancements in diagnostic biomarkers, the utility of advanced imaging techniques, and the current and emerging treatments for neuroprotection and regeneration. We invite submissions of original research, reviews, and comprehensive studies that provide insights into these important areas.

The scope of this Special Issue includes but is not limited to:

• Primary and secondary injury mechanisms in neurotrauma;
• Molecular and cellular pathways in neurotrauma;
• Role of inflammation post-neurotrauma;
• Identification of new diagnostic biomarkers;
• Utility of advanced imaging techniques in neurotrauma;
• Therapeutic strategies focusing on neuroprotection and regeneration;
• Reviews on current and emerging trends in neurotrauma research.

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. Biomedicines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.
