Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue, “Neurologic Injury and Neurodegeneration”, aims to provide an opportunity for readers to dive deep into this subject. Central nervous system neurons are lost as a result of neurodegenerative diseases. Neurodegenerative diseases can have various causes, such as neurotrauma, stroke, epilepsy, encephalitis, and metabolic disease. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and concussion affect 42 million people worldwide every year, with TBI being a recognized risk factor for various neurodegenerative diseases. These two processes are, however, not fully understood in terms of their pathological mechanisms. The disruption of axonal transport and axonal injury in TBI influence molecular mechanisms, leading to the formation of pathological proteins, such as amyloid-β peptide and hyperphosphorylated tau. Research shows that neuroinflammation is a crucial pathological cause of chronic neurodegeneration following TBI. Microglia play important roles in neuroinflammation and related diseases of the central nervous system. Researchers hope that future research in this field will lead to a better understanding of the role of neuroinflammation in the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative diseases, which will later translate into the discovery of therapeutic targets. For this reason, we invite submissions of experimental and clinical results and literature reviews. There is no length restriction for papers. Where possible, full experimental and methodological details must be provided.

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. Journal of Vascular Diseases is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.
