Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nervous system injury is a leading risk factor for disability and death in the absence of effective treatment. The pathogeneses of neural damage are highly complex and involve factors such as energy deficiency, ion imbalance, and metabolic disorders. Following neural injury, a cascade of events including excitotoxicity, inflammation, and oxidative stress contributes to the death of neurons and non-neuronal cells (such as astrocytes and microglial cells) in the brain, ultimately resulting in outcomes like motor dysfunction, cognitive impairment, and other neurological deficits.
Using various of neural injury models helps investigate the cellular and molecular regulatory mechanisms underlying neural damage and provide neuroprotection strategies. However research progress and treatment efficacy remain limited for subsets of nervous system injuries. Therefore, further investigation into molecular targets and pharmacological neuroprotection is urgently needed.

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.
