Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is our pleasure to inform you about the Special Issue, “New Discoveries in Neurodegenerative Retinal Diseases and Other Neurodegenerative Pathologies, and Molecular Therapies”. Neurodegenerative pathologies including neurodegenerative retinal diseases constitute a worldwide major public health burden. Neurodegenerative diseases are a broad spectrum of clinically different pathologies that share some molecular characteristics. They are multifactorial alterations in which molecular, genetic, and environmental factors are crucial. It is important to understand the molecular mechanisms involved in their appearance, which then allows for therapeutic targets to be established. An increased knowledge of their pathophysiology allows for a better understanding of the diseases and their solutions. Moreover, knowledge on these new therapeutic targets will allow for the design of new therapeutic options. In this scenario, this Special Issue focuses on molecular factors associated with the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative retinal diseases and other neurodegenerative pathologies. It will be published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences (IJMS, https://www.mdpi.com/journal/ijms, ISSN 1422-0067). We invite researchers to submit original research or review articles on basic, translational, and clinical aspects that describe new concepts associated with neurodegenerative retinal diseases and other neurodegenerative pathologies.

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.
