Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Neurodegenerative diseases are among the most prevalent health problems faced by the elderly. These pathologies generate problems regarding autonomy in those affected, and pose a burden to public health and health systems.
The mechanisms that underlie neurodegeneration are sometimes common to various diseases and differentiated in others. Nonetheless, in many cases, the mechanisms implicated in these diseases are unknown, and if they are known, there are no effective therapies to treat them. In fact, there are few therapies for the treatment of these diseases, or for preventing, slowing or halting neurodegeneration.
In this Special Issue, we invite our colleagues to submit orignal research and review articles that focus on the molecular and cellular mechanisms of neurodegeneration, as well as therapeutic approaches. Manuscripts that address related subjects are also welcome.
Dr. Fernando Cardona
Guest Editor
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.
