Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Medicina aims to collect general papers and extended and expanded versions of selected papers presented at IECMD2025 (https://sciforum.net/event/IECMD2025), offering authors the opportunity to publish their full-length manuscripts in a high-impact, peer-reviewed format.
The Special Issue will cover novel mechanistic insights, translational approaches, and clinical innovations that advance our understanding of the nervous system and its disorders. By integrating molecular, cellular, and clinical perspectives, this issue seeks to bridge the gap between bench and bedside in neurology.
We welcome submissions addressing emerging concepts and frontiers in neurology, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Molecular and cellular mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, ALS, etc.);
- Neuroinflammation and immune–brain interactions;
- Neurovascular biology and cerebrovascular disorders (stroke and BBB dynamics);
- Lysosomal and metabolic diseases with neurological manifestations;
- Neuroplasticity, regeneration, and neurorepair mechanisms;
- Biomarkers and diagnostic tools in neurological diseases;
- Novel therapeutic targets and drug delivery systems for CNS disorders;
- Precision neurology, personalized medicine, and patient stratification;
- Advanced neuroimaging, electrophysiological, and computational approaches;
- Translational and preclinical models of neurological pathologies.
Original research articles presenting novel mechanistic or translational findings in neurology and related disciplines are encouraged. We also welcome comprehensive and systematic reviews summarizing recent advances in neurological science and clinical practice.
All manuscripts will undergo standard rigorous peer review and will be published open access in Medicina to ensure wide dissemination and visibility within the scientific and clinical community.

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. Medicina is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2200 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.
