Applications of Biomedical Technology and Molecular Biological Approach in Brain Diseases, 2nd Edition

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

This topic issue is a continuation of the previous successful topic “Applications of Biomedical Technology and Molecular Biological Approach in Brain Diseases”.

This topic includes the assessment of brain diseases and their mechanisms using various biomedical technologies and molecular biological approaches and also includes developments in novel treatments and interventions. In this topic issue, the range of brain diseases comprise neurological diseases and psychiatric disorders. Neurological diseases (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease) are hot topics for aging societies across many counties, and their treatments and interventions remain unsolved questions. By contrast, patients with psychiatric disorders suffer from chronic symptoms and relapse. Moreover, many psychiatric diseases such as schizophrenia, post-traumatic stress disorder, bipolar disorders, and anxiety disorders cannot be treated using long-term medicinal treatments or psychological interventions.

This topic issue encourages researchers to submit any manuscripts that examine the mechanisms of and/or treatments for any brain diseases, including neurological diseases and psychiatric disorders. The scope of this topic issue includes, but is not limited to, the following technologies and approaches to investigating brain diseases:

1. Brain mapping: fMRI, MRI, PET, and CT;
2. Molecular and protein labeling: IHC, IF, WB, ELISA, IP, and ICC;
3. mRNA labeling: PCR, qRT-PCR, and Fish;
4. Others: optogenetics, chemogenetics, and HPLC.
