Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Our previous Special Issue on "Oxidative Stress and Inflammation in the Nervous System" (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/antioxidants/special_issues/Inflammation_Nervous), published in the 2020 volume of Antioxidants, received an overwhelming number of submissions and was a successful compilation of research and review articles. As this is a rapidly evolving topic, we would like to explore the role of Oxidative Stress in Nervous System further with a follow-up Special Issue for 2024.
In the last decade, many studies in neurodegeneration and neurodevelopment have been published focusing on the role of inflammation and oxidative stress. In many diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis (MS), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or neurodevelopment diseases such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and autism, the brain cells produce changes in functionality and physiology. The cells involved are immunologic cells, astrocytes, and microglia. Astrocytes have many functions, such as nutrition, toxicity elimination, communication between neural cells, control of the blood–brain barrier, etc. The functions of microglia, by contrast, are similar to those of other immune cells of the body. The study of their influence on the good relationship between cells and their role in nervous system diseases will be a priority in the future in terms of scientific research.
We invite you to submit your latest research findings or a review article to this Special Issue, which will bring together current research concerning inflammation and oxidative stress in the nervous system. We welcome submissions concerning all functions of nervous system cells. We believe that this Special Issue, “Oxidative Stress and Inflammation in the Nervous System”, will help to highlight the most recent advances on all aspects of neurodegeneration and neurodevelopment.
We look forward to your contribution.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
