Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Research on neuroimmunological diseases based on molecular biological studies and experimental models is providing new insights into disease mechanisms and contributing to the development of novel therapeutic drugs and biologics for these diseases. This Special Issue seeks to focus on both basic molecular science and translational research on neuroimmunological diseases in order to overcome these intractable neurological diseases. This Special Issue is focused on chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy and also addresses some neuroimmunological diseases. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), multiple sclerosis (MS), neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD), acute demyelinating encephalomyelitis (ADEM), autoimmune encephalitis, paraneoplastic neurological syndrome, Guillain–Barre syndrome (GBS), and other immune-mediated diseases related to neuropathy and myositis. Research related to in vitro/in vivo models, including experimental autoimmune encephalitis (EAE), experimental autoimmune neuritis (EAN), the blood–brain barrier, the blood–nerve barrier, astrocytes, microglia, neurons and muscle, and pathological observations or new diagnostic biomarkers for these diseases is also welcome. Since IJMS is a journal about molecular science, pure clinical or model studies will unfortunately not be suitable for this journal.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
