Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, redox biology, the study of oxidation–reduction processes associated with life, has been an area of great interest due to its participation in fundamental aspects of both physiological and pathological conditions. Oxidative stress (distress), a condition characterized by the presence of high amounts of reactive oxygen/nitrogen species, is recognized as the main event leading to brain damage after cerebral ischemia. Ischemic stroke is among the leading causes of disability and mortality worldwide. The Special Issue on "The Role of Oxidative Stress in Ischemic Stroke" is dedicated to advancing knowledge of the role played by alterations in redox biology in ischemic stroke. Because oxidative stress involves multiple post-ischemic cascades that lead to cell death, we aim to encompass everything from molecular mechanisms and pathophysiology to clinical management and neuroprotective strategies. We invite collaborators to examine how oxidative stress occurs, what mechanisms of cell death are activated, and how they can be manipulated to induce neuroprotection. Better understanding of these pathways may provide new therapeutic strategies in clinical stroke treatment.

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. Brain Sciences 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 2200 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.
