Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Synucleins are vertebrate-conserved proteins particularly expressed in the central nervous system. Alpha, beta and gamma synucleins are peculiar proteins involved in important neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease and in tumours. Synucleins are biologically fascinating proteins, in particular, alpha synuclein, due to their prion-like characteristics. An in-depth study of the neurobiology of these proteins is essential to understand their role and the pathogenic mechanisms in which they are involved. The purpose of this Special Issue is to collect scientific articles and reviews that can contribute to the advancement of knowledge in this field.

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.
