Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Neurodegenerative diseases and brain cancer are challenging human diseases heavily afflicting society. Nanotechnology is widely used in the fields of early diagnosis and drug delivery. This issue is dedicated to showing interdisciplinary research encompassing elements of medicine, biology, chemistry, physics, food science, and materials science. As a consequence of the increasing prevalence of neurodegenerative diseases, pain, and brain cancer and the low efficacy of current therapies, the development of treatment and diagnosis strategies have increased in the last years. Nanotechnology combining cold plasma, magnetic fields, and novel molecules can interact with biological systems at molecular levels with a high degree of specificity. This Special Issue will focus not only on neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD), dementia, chronic pain, and brain cancer, but also on the impact of novel nanotechnology on earlier diagnosis and treatment.
Dr. Furong Tian
Guest Editor
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.
