Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Tauopathies are a fascinating and vast assembly of neurodegenerative diseases, spanning multiple distinct neuropathological features, cellular phenotypes and clinical presentations. This diversity and complexity make tauopathies particularly challenging to model. Regardless, recent advancements in animal and cellular models have accelerated our knowledge and understanding of these diseases. In parallel, the development and application of new technologies to study and characterize these models have expanded our horizons for what is possible to know. However, we still have a long way to go with regard to untangling the complexity and pleiotropy of MAPT, tau and tauopathies, and developing effective therapies and treatments.
We invite authors from any area of the tauopathy field to submit original research or review articles pertaining to this special issue. Studies and opinions on new approaches and technologies that have changed our perspective of the field, where we are currently lacking in our efforts and understanding, and the challenges we face to make meaningful progress are encouraged.

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.
