Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The expression of regulatory non-coding RNAs such as microRNAs (miRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs) is altered in several diseases of the central nervous system (CNS), such as neurodegenerative disorders, stroke, trauma, and infection. It has become clear that regulatory RNAs regulate pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory pathways in the CNS. They modulate cellular phenotypes and functions as regulators of gene expression during neuroinflammation by using diverse mechanisms through interactions with proteins, RNA, and DNA.
They have also emerged as attractive markers for diagnoses and targets for therapies for diseases in the CNS.
This Special Issue will focus on the molecular, cellular, and (pre)clinical aspects of miRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs during neuroinflammation in CNS disorders. Authors are encouraged to submit their original research studies on this theme. Reviews that highlight new findings in the above areas are also welcome. Ι hope that this Special Issue will be of interest to the readers of Brain Sciences.

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. Brain Sciences 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 2200 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.
