Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I am happy to announce a Special Issue, titled “Multiple Sclerosis and the Neuroinflammation”, which aims to shed light on crucial aspects within this dynamic research field. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex autoimmune disease affecting the central nervous system, which is characterized by neuroinflammation and demyelination. Understanding the underlying mechanisms of neuroinflammation in MS is paramount for developing effective therapeutic strategies. In this Special Issue, we invite contributions that explore the intricacies of MS and neuroinflammation. We seek studies that offer novel insights into experimental results or propose experimentally testable hypotheses, thus advancing our knowledge of these conditions. Papers exploring emerging therapeutic targets, innovative experimental approaches such as organoids, or the role of immune players in MS pathogenesis are particularly encouraged. Together, let us deepen our understanding of MS and neuroinflammation and thus contribute to the advancement of scientific knowledge and improvements in patient care.
Dr. Giovanni Ferrara
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.
