Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Neuroimmune disorders encompass a diverse spectrum of conditions characterized by inflammation of the central nervous system. In recent years, investigations into cell- and antibody-mediated neurological disorders have unveiled a multitude of factors that may trigger the onset of these conditions, such as paraneoplastic associations, infection-induced responses, or genetic predisposition.
The aim of this Special Issue is to comprehensively explore all facets of autoimmune neurological disorders, with a particular focus on the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms and genetics, current therapeutic strategies, and emerging challenges in this field.
We cordially invite experts with an interest in this Special Issue to submit original research manuscripts and comprehensive reviews addressing any of the aforementioned themes.
Sincerely,
Dr. Mar Petit-Pedrol
Dr. Dominique Fernandes
Guest Editors
