Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to our Special Issue of the International Journal of Molecular Sciences (IJMS) entitled “Inflammation and Neurological Diseases: Molecular Mechanisms and Therapeutic Implications”.
In recent years, accumulating evidence suggests that inflammation plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of various neurological diseases, icluding Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), multiple sclerosis epilepsy, sroke and brain injury. Therefore, a better understanding of the specific mechanisms that play a role in the natural history of diseases is crucial for the development of novel integrated pharmacological approaches to treat these diseases. This Special Issue will focus on elaborating the current findings on the complexities of targeting neuroinflammation as a novel therapy, and its role in the etiopathogenesis of several neurological diseases.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- NLRP3 inflammasome and neurological diseases;
- microRNA-based regulation of inflammation;
- Gut microbiota-mediated inflammation and neurological diseases;
- Targeting inflammasomes to treat neurological diseases.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
