Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue provides an in-depth exploration of the cellular and molecular intricacies underlying neurodegenerative disorders, focusing on previously unidentified mechanisms and promising drug candidates. This Special Issue also includes a study of cancer pathways, specifically neuroblastoma, to broaden the understanding of misfolded proteins’ role in various neurodegenerative conditions. Our primary goal is to investigate molecules capable of addressing pathologies arising from protein aggregates, which trigger chronic reticular stress. Through this multidisciplinary approach, this Special Issue aims to unveil novel therapeutic avenues for treating neurodegenerative diseases and neuroblastoma, potentially bringing new hope to patients and clinicians.

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. Current Issues in Molecular Biology 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.
