Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Central nervous system (CNS) inflammatory demyelinating diseases represent a group of disorders that affect millions of patients worldwide. These conditions can lead to a wide range of neurological outcomes, from fully reversible symptoms to permanent disability. Major diseases in this category include Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM), Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder (NMOSD), and Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein Antibody-Associated Disease (MOGAD). Historically, some of these disorders were misclassified as MS. Because they often share overlapping clinical features, careful differential diagnosis is essential to distinguish among them.
In this Special Issue, we highlight the latest advances in molecular research on CNS inflammatory demyelinating diseases, with the goal of improving our understanding of both their distinct and shared mechanisms of pathophysiology.
