Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Our Special Issue, "Neurogenesis and Neurodegeneration: Insights into Regeneration and the Impact of Neurotrophins", aims to showcase cutting-edge research that illuminates the complex relationship between the birth of new neurons and the progressive loss of existing ones—processes that are fundamentally linked to brain health, disease, and therapeutic intervention.
We encourage scientists worldwide to submit original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and insightful perspectives that explore the intricate mechanisms that drive neurogenesis, with a particular focus on the critical role of neurotrophins. We welcome studies that explore regenerative strategies for neurodegenerative disorders, including those that consider the impact of environmental factors and genetic predisposition on both neurogenesis and neurodegeneration.
Leading by Dr. Eva Terzibasi Tozzini and assisting by Dr. Sara Bagnoli (Biology Laboratory (BIO@SNS), Scuola Normale Superiore, Italy), this Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive platform for advances in the understanding of brain plasticity, repair mechanisms, and promising therapeutic avenues.
Submit your work and help shape the future of neurogenesis, neurodegeneration, and regeneration research! We look forward to receiving your submission.
Dr. Eva Terzibasi Tozzini
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.
