Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Neurosciences is rapidly developing. Alongside macroscopic studies on brain anatomy, an increase in cellular level studies is occurring. Indeed, promising in vitro studies using cell culture techniques are highlighting alterations in neuronal function. For example, interesting studies include those on cell aging, the morphological and functional changes cells undergo with age, and nerve cells of various species of domestic animals, which have highlighted enzymatic alterations that have repercussions on the functionality of cell DNA. The process of brain senescence specifically related to oxidative damages induced by ROS (reactive oxygen species) has been well described. These achievements are fundamental as they could have extreme relevance in the study of neurological disorders such as Alzheimer and Parkinson diseases.
From this point of view, you are invited to submit your work on these topics. In particular, we welcome in vivo and in vitro studies on brain and nerve cell morphological changes in different stress conditions.
Dr. Gianluca Lepore
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. Animals is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
