Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Oxidative stress/antioxidant balance and inflammation are major factors of neuronal death, which is the pathogenetic basis of many neurological diseases.
The physiopathological steps that must be followed to decipher the mechanisms of these diseases may be the key to innovative treatments in this field of research. From the pro-oxidant molecules, synthesized in excess, to the antioxidant ones, produced deficiently, there is a fragile line towards the initiation and maintenance of an inflammatory process. Activated pro-inflammatory cells, together with excessively produced pro-inflammatory cytokines, as well as matrix metalloproteinases, can contribute decisively to neuroinflammation, with important cellular or tissue damage consequences. Due to the complex function of the cells of the nervous system, the spectrum of neurological diseases produced by these pathogenetic mechanisms is extremely diverse.
This Special Issue is addressed to all researchers involved in deciphering the pathogenetic mechanisms of neurological diseases who wish to contribute to the development of targeted and personalized therapies in the field of neurological disorders associated with neuroinflammation. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are 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. Antioxidants is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
