Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nervous system diseases include a wide range of debilitating conditions, such as neurodegenerative disorders (e.g., Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s), neuroinflammatory diseases (e.g., multiple sclerosis), and neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g., autism and epilepsy). Despite decades of research, effective treatments remain elusive for many of these conditions, largely due to the complexity and multifactorial nature of their pathophysiology.
Recent advances in molecular biology, omics technologies, neuroimaging, and computational modeling are shedding new light on the underlying mechanisms of these diseases and revealing promising therapeutic targets. At the same time, innovative interventions, including gene therapies, stem-cell-based treatments, neuromodulation techniques, and personalized medicine approaches, are beginning to transform the landscape of nervous system therapeutics.
A central goal of this Special Issue is to foster interdisciplinary dialogue among neuroscientists, clinicians, and biomedical researchers, aiming to close the gap between bench and bedside. By uniting diverse perspectives, this Special Issue seeks to accelerate progress toward effective, personalized treatments.

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. Biomedicines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.
