Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Despite the intricate network of molecular mechanisms underpinning neuroinflammation, we are progressively gaining an increasing and deeper understanding of the multifarious inflammatory signaling pathways with a critical role in disease, resulting in the potential enhancement of targeted treatment options. In this context, this Special Issue will present the recent advances from different research perspectives (in vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies) on (1) molecular and cellular targets affecting neuroinflammation and the major inflammatory signaling pathways related to disease. Potential topics can include (but are not limited to) microglia as key cellular mediators of neuroinflammatory processes; NLRP3 inflammasomes; the kynurenine pathway; endocannabinoids; (2) emerging targeted treatment strategies from clinical medicines to natural products which are under development as potentially effective in the treatment of disease by modulating neuroinflammation at different biological levels.

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. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
