Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the molecular mechanisms and pathophysiology of spinal cord injury (SCI) using both traditional and omics approaches. SCI is a devastating condition affecting millions of individuals worldwide; therefore, understanding its underlying molecular mechanisms is crucial for the development of effective therapies.
The scope of this Special Issue includes original research articles, reviews, and perspectives that cover topics such as the identification of biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis, the characterization of molecular pathways involved in SCI pathophysiology, and the development of novel therapeutics based on these molecular changes. Additionally, this Issue explores the challenges and opportunities associated with combining traditional and omics approaches in the study of SCI, including data integration, standardization, and analysis.
This Special Issue aims to bring together an interdisciplinary group of researchers and experts to provide a comprehensive perspective on the latest research on SCI, from traditional techniques to omics approaches. We believe that the contributions to this Special Issue will shed light on the potential for these technologies to lead to new diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic strategies for this debilitating condition. We invite researchers from diverse backgrounds to contribute to this Issue to enhance our understanding of SCI and its underlying molecular mechanisms.

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.
