Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
This Special Issues broadly discusses protein clearance mechanisms via autophagy, the proteasome, and the lysosome in neurodegenerative diseases. It also will consider the direct effects on angiogenesis and the blood–brain barrier in health, disease and response to treatments. Inflammatory processes that are concurrent or independent of neurotoxic protein accumulation will also be considered. Papers concerning drug development as a strategy to treat neurodegeneration via manipulation of autophagy, the lysosome, and inflammation and restoration of the blood–brain barrier are particularly welcome.
