Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Neuroinflammation, characterized by the activation of glial cells and the release of inflammatory mediators, has emerged as a key player in the pathogenesis of disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis. This Special Issue will bring together cutting-edge research that elucidates the molecular mechanisms driving neuroinflammation, its impact on neuronal function and survival, and the potential for targeting these pathways in therapeutic strategies. Contributions will include original research articles, reviews, and perspectives that address how neuroinflammatory processes influence disease progression, and the development of novel biomarkers and interventions.
This Special Issue aims to foster a deeper understanding of neuroinflammation's role in neurodegeneration, paving the way for innovative treatments that could alter the course of these debilitating diseases.

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. Current Issues in Molecular Biology is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
