Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Glioblastoma and neuroblastoma represent significant challenges in oncology, given their aggressive nature and limited treatment strategies. Advances in molecular research have paved the way for neuropharmaceutical innovations aimed at addressing the underlying mechanisms of these complex tumors.
Recent breakthroughs in glioblastoma and neuroblastoma research highlight the importance of molecular approaches, including drug design, computational modeling, and high-throughput screening techniques. These advancements are essential for identifying novel therapeutic targets and developing effective treatments. Additionally, overcoming the blood–brain barrier to ensure precise drug delivery to tumor sites and identifying biomarkers to monitor therapeutic efficacy are critical areas of investigation.
Translational research, which bridges molecular discoveries and clinical applications, holds promise for improving outcomes in these cancers. This Special Issue welcomes contributions that delve into various aspects of neuropharmaceutical research related to glioblastoma and neuroblastoma treatments, including original studies, comprehensive reviews, and perspective articles. By fostering collaboration and sharing insights, we aim to drive progress in therapeutic strategies for these complex diseases.
This Special Issue was co-led by the journal’s Topical Advisory Panel (TAP) member Dr. Fabrizio De Luca and the Special Issue Assistant Dr. Ludovica Gaiaschi, who contributed to and supported the collaboration and promotion process and the operation and development of this Special Issue.
Dr. Maria G. Bottone

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.
