Dear Colleagues,

Neurodegenerative diseases represent one of the major health challenges facing modern society. Over the last decade, technological advances have led to a gradual adoption of proteomic strategies to identify proteoforms that are involved in early disease pathways. In this special issue, we welcome original contributions and review articles related to studies that employ a proteomics strategy to address the critical need for diagnostic biomarkers and new drug targets for neurodegenerative diseases. We welcome both non-targeted and targeted proteomics studies with technology including but not limited to MS imaging, iTRAQ, SWATH, PRM, SRM. SILK or in silico network-based mapping with an emphasis on the use of patient-derived tissue or biofluids. This series of publications will stimulate conversation and advance research toward the potential prevention of these devastating diseases, by improving diagnosis, clinical trial design and drug target identification.

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.
