Autophagy Dysfunction in Neurodegenerative Disease

Dear Colleagues,

We invite you to contribute to the Special Issue “Autophagy Dysfunction in Neurodegenerative Diseases,” which will be published in Current Issues in Molecular Biology.

This Special Issue focuses on the disrupted mechanisms of autophagy involved in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD), Huntington’s disease (HD), Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), and Congenital Ataxias (CA). Uncovering the altered autophagic pathways underlying these disorders will advance our understanding of disease pathogenesis and progression while highlighting autophagy modulation as a promising innovative therapeutic strategy.

We welcome submissions of original research articles and review papers that provide new insights into this dynamic and rapidly evolving topic.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Current Issues in Molecular Biology 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.
