Advances in Neurodegenerative Disease

Dear Colleagues,

I would like to devote this issue of the journal Cells to a variety of issues related to the study of human neurodegenerative diseases—from the study of the genetic and molecular mechanisms of their pathogenesis to new approaches to therapy. At the same time, attention should be given to the most common neurodegenerative diseases, Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. However, this does not mean that there will be no place for other diseases in this issue—for example, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or spinocerebellar ataxia. It is only important that the articles of the Topical Collection be of interest to a wide range of scientists and clinicians, consider important aspects of the biology of neurodegenerative diseases, and make a significant contribution to their study. This Topical Collection of Cells should improve our understanding of neurodegenerative disease pathogenesis and possible approaches to early diagnostics and treatment.
