Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Neuroproteins, including key molecules such as Tau, α-synuclein and amyloid-β, play critical roles in both neural function and pathology. Dysregulation of these proteins is often a crucial factor in neurodegenerative conditions. New discoveries from fields such as transcriptomics, biological imaging and proteomics, among others, have enhanced our understanding. These advances show us the varied roles of neuroproteins in cellular signaling, immune responses, environmental factors, and potential treatments.
For this Special Issue, we invite contributions that expand our understanding of neuroproteins from a functional and/or pathological perspective. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Neuroprotein aggregation and pathogenesis;
- Neuro–immune interactions;
- Neuroproteins in neuropsychiatric conditions;
- Experimental therapeutics targeting neuroproteins;
- Biomarker discovery related to neuroproteins;
- Environmental factors in neuroprotein function;
- Calcium signaling related to neuroproteins;
- Neuroprotein structure and function;
- Post-translational modifications.

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. Life 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 2600 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
