Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is critical to determine the cellular and molecular events required to generate the vast number and types of cells in the nervous system to define how it functions and provide insight into neurodevelopmental disorders. There is a dearth of information regarding the cellular and molecular biology of neurodevelopment. Modern tools and classical techniques continue to excavate neurodevelopmental events at an unprecedented cellular and molecular resolution. Here, this Special Issue aims to present emerging research, findings, and methods on the cellular and molecular biology of neurodevelopment.
Original research and review papers dealing with all aspects of the cellular and molecular biology of neurodevelopment are welcome for inclusion in this Special issue of Biomolecules. We invite a variety of research papers that provide insights into the neurodevelopmental mechanisms. Manuscripts that describe alterations in cellular and molecular processes, changes caused by pharmacological or toxicological insult, genetic loss or gain of function, or environmental exposures, such as infection, inflammation, and stress, are relevant. Descriptive observations and reviews that focus on the cellular and molecular biology of neurodevelopment are pertinent. Techniques, methods, or scientific approaches that provide insight into neurodevelopment are also warranted.

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. Biomolecules 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 2700 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.
