Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Neonatal brain damage or neonatal encephalopathy is mainly caused by hypoxia-ischemia and is a major cause of concern in neonatal units. The prognosis of infants suffering from neonatal brain damage is particularly poor, accounting for 1 million neonatal deaths every year worldwide, and survivors will develop neurological conditions. Both diagnosis and treatment, however, remain a clinical challenge with current therapeutics, being effective only in a subgroup of patients and diagnostic/prognostic methods are either inaccurate or possibly too late for an effective treatment. Since the first preclinical model developed by Rice-Vannuci in rats, new preclinical models have been developed in pigs, sheets, and mice, to mimic the pathology of neonatal encephalopathy in infants. Emerging evidence from these pre-clinical models has started to elucidate the mechanism underlying neonatal brain damage, including oxidative stress, hyperexcitability, and neuroinflammation, which will guide novel therapies and diagnostic tools. This Special Issue will compile the latest results on hypoxia-ischemia encephalopathy.

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. Cells is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2700 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.
