Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Radiation exposure may induce abnormal brain development and subsequent neurological and neuropsychological disorders, with the potential to severely affect the patient’s quality of life. Therefore, further research into high- or low-dose/dose-rate radiation-induced brain injury, pathophysiological changes, neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders and relevant molecular mechanisms is needed urgently. This may facilitate the development of novel therapeutic approaches to prevent acute or chronic radiation-induced neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders.
In this Special Issue of Cells, entitled "Radiation-Induced Brain Injury: Molecular Mechanisms and Therapeutic Strategies", we are inviting authors to submit human, animal or cell experimental research work and review papers. Potential discussions may include high- or low-dose/dose-rate irradiation-induced brain injury, disorders, relevant molecular mechanisms, and recent advances in the development of therapeutic strategies.

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.
