Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Movement disorders are a debilitating group of conditions that affect millions of people worldwide. While current treatments can manage symptoms, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive. This Special Issue of the International Journal of Molecular Sciences (IJMS), titled "New Molecular Progression of Movement Disorders", aims to shed light on these mechanisms and pave the way for novel therapeutic strategies.
We invite researchers to submit original and impactful studies that delve into the molecular underpinnings of movement disorders. This may include investigations into protein misfolding, neuroinflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, or any other relevant pathway. We are particularly interested in studies that explore the following:
- Novel molecular targets for therapeutic intervention;
- Early diagnostic biomarkers for movement disorders;
- The role of environmental and genetic factors in disease progression.
By bringing together cutting-edge research, this Special Issue aspires to be a valuable resource for neuroscientists, neurologists, and clinicians seeking a deeper understanding of movement disorders. We encourage submissions from both basic and translational researchers, with a focus on studies that bridge the gap between molecular mechanisms and clinical applications.
IJMS is a journal focused on molecular sciences. While we welcome submissions with clinical relevance, pure clinical studies without a strong molecular component will not be suitable for this Special Issue.
We look forward to receiving your impactful contributions and working together to unlock the secrets of movement disorders.

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.
