Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Neurodevelopment is a complex process central to the intricate formation of the nervous system. Understanding the subtle cues and intricate mechanisms that underpin the natural process of neural growth and connectivity during development is pivotal. This knowledge forms the bedrock upon which therapies are built, empowering scientists and clinicians to harness the potential of regenerative medicine effectively. By deepening our comprehension of neurodevelopment and its application in regeneration, we advance our capacity to heal and restore the nervous system.
With this Special Issue, we aim to shed light on how researchers are leveraging the fundamental principles of embryology to pave the way for groundbreaking approaches for regeneration in the context of neurological disorders and injuries. The articles will comprehensively explore these novel regeneration strategies, ranging from the potential of induced pluripotent stem cells to the remarkable advancements in tissue engineering techniques. The ultimate goal of these innovative approaches is to facilitate the restoration of lost neural function, offering hope to countless individuals affected by neurological conditions.

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.
