Molecular Signals and Genetic Regulations of Neurological Disorders

Dear Colleagues,

Intra- and extracellular molecular signaling play a major role in modulating genetic and epigenetic regulation of cellular growth, differentiation mechanisms, and vice versa. Moreover, the proteins that make up an organism (proteome) are constantly changing and are intricately linked to neurological diseases. A growing body of research data strongly suggests that imbalance in the abovementioned mechanism and genetic abnormalities are at the basis of the development of several neurological disorders. Thus, the scope of this Special Issue is to cover molecular signaling and genetic regulation of neurological disorders, particularly regarding the development and progression of the most prevalent neurological disorders, which are the causes of cognitive impairment, movement disorders, cerebrovascular diseases, and brain cancer. We are also interested in discussing neurological disorders such as Down Syndrome, since it shows some molecular similarity with Alzheimer’s disease, and repeat expansion diseases.

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. 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.
