Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Although diabetic neuropathy has been known about for a long time, the complex pathogenesis and molecular backgrounds still need further investigation. Chronic hyperglycaemia differently affects various parts of the nervous system. Not only neurons, but also the neuronal microenvironment, like glia cells, microvessels or the elements of the immune system, can be altered by the diabetic state. Furthermore, hyperglycaemic state damages are not exclusive to the peripheral nervous system, which suggests the necessity to understand the function of the central nervous system in the development of diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
The aim of this Special Issue is to highlight diabetes-related neurological alterations both in patients and animal models. Original research articles and review articles focusing on different forms of neuropathy in all type of diabetes are welcome.
The understanding of different pathways of chronic hyperglycaemia-related neuropathy will help to develop new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies which can prevent or help in diabetes-related conditions.

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.
