Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Chronic inflammation plays a critical role in the development and progression of many neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, and age-related macular degeneration. Increasing evidence points to the complex involvement of immune responses, both in the brain and from the periphery, including the actions of microglia, astrocytes, and other immune cells, in driving neuronal damage and loss.
This Special Issue, entitled "Inflammation in Neurogenerative Diseases: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Frontiers", invites contributions that explore how inflammation shapes the course of neurodegenerative diseases and what we can do to intervene. We are particularly interested in studies that uncover new mechanisms of neuroinflammation, identify promising biomarkers, and propose innovative therapies—ranging from gene therapy and immunomodulation to nanomedicine.
