Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, “Genetics of Nerve Regeneration”, aims to highlight advances in molecular genetics related to nerve regeneration in the peripheral and central nervous systems. We welcome high-quality original research articles and critical reviews that focus on advances in our understanding of the genetic mechanisms underlying nerve regeneration and the development of novel therapeutic strategies for nerve injuries. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Genetic factors influencing nerve regeneration;
- Cellular and molecular mechanisms of neurodegeneration;
- Crosstalk between immune cells and the nervous system;
- Neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration;
- The transcriptomic and proteomic analysis of neurodegeneration;
- Advances and applications of organoid technologies for nerve injuries;
- The role of metabolism in neurodegeneration;
- Therapeutic approaches for nerve repair and regeneration.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Genes 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.
