Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed our lives and revolutionized medicine. Recently, new methods have been developed to support diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. AI has made significant progress in the field of neuro-oncology, gaining the interest of pathologists, neuroradiologists, surgeons and bioengineers. Bioinformatics is now playing a crucial role in enhancing the performance of physicians in their daily work processes.
This Special Issue welcomes articles that focus on bioinformatics applications in neuro-oncology. The potential topics include, but are not limited to, innovative algorithms for liquid biopsy, radiomics and videomics tools applied to pathology and molecular diagnostics. Furthermore, we encourage submissions that introduce novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches rooted in recent molecular and genetic discoveries. These may involve genes, DNAs, RNAs, proteins and other biomolecules, where their profiles are reflected in diverse omics data types. An important aspect is the integrative analysis of various types of omics data, such as epigenomics, metabolomics, transcriptomics and genomics. By doing so, our Special Issue aims to collect the latest excellent results to significantly enhance the accuracy of diagnosis and prognosis, deepen our functional understanding of disease mechanisms and pave the way for precision medicine.
We encourage a variety of article types, including original articles, clinical trials, systematic reviews and meta-analyses based on recent molecular and genetic discoveries.
This Special Issue is supervised by Prof. Dr. Marco M. Fontanella and assisted by our Topical Advisory Panel Member Dr. Lucio De Maria (Geneva University Hospitals) and Dr. Francesco Ponzio (Politecnico di Torino).

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.
