Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Brain disorders represent a significant challenge for modern medicine, spanning a wide range of conditions including cerebrovascular diseases and neuro-oncological disorders, some of which develop in the course of cancer-predisposing syndromes. Advances in neurosurgery, neuro-oncology, and vascular neurosurgery have opened new perspectives for treating complex entities such as aneurysms, gliomas, and other intracranial pathologies.
Recent progress in molecular biology, genomics, and advanced neuroimaging has deepened our understanding of disease mechanisms, from the molecular pathways driving tumor growth to the genetic alterations underlying cancer-predisposing syndromes such as neurofibromatosis and CMMRD. These insights have fostered the development of innovations in surgical techniques, targeted therapies, and personalized treatment strategies.
The aim of this Special Issue is to connect fundamental molecular discoveries with clinical applications, highlighting translational research that can improve diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes in patients with brain disorders. We invite submissions that cover topics including, but not limited to, the following:
- Molecular characterization and novel therapies for gliomas and other brain tumors;
- Genetic syndromes predisposing individuals to brain tumors, including CMMRD;
- Translational research bridging basic science and clinical neurosurgery.
We welcome original research articles, clinical studies, and comprehensive reviews that will contribute to advancing the field from molecular mechanisms to innovative therapies.

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.
