Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Given its outstanding heterogeneity and complexity, deciphering the cellular- and network-level mechanisms of the nervous system has been challenging, which is reflected by severe hurdles in developing efficacious pharmacological compounds without manifesting prohibiting off-target effects. Due to the major impact of neuroproteomics in shaping our understanding of the biology of the nervous system, in this Special Issue, we encourage researchers to present their latest studies focusing on the nervous system utilizing proteomics tools either conducted in vivo or in cell culture experiments. Despite constant methodological developments, significant limitations still exist in neuroproteomics that might hinder unmasking protein-level data in sufficient detail. Consequently, technical developments/refinements in sample preparation, protein identification/quantification, and bioinformatics to improve neuroproteomics data collection are within the scope of this Special Issue. Beyond original research articles, reviews and opinions, providing summaries, newly formulated hypotheses and raising current challenges within neuroproteomics are also welcome.

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.
