Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Neuroglia cells, once considered to be mere supportive cells in the nervous system, have emerged as key players in the development and progression of neurological disorders. This Special Issue delves into the clinical implications of neuroglia cells and their impact on various neurological conditions. By exploring the intricate interactions between neuroglia cells and neurons, researchers aim to unravel the underlying mechanisms that contribute to disease pathogenesis.
The articles featured in this Special Issue cover a wide range of topics, including the role of astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and microglia in neuroinflammation, neurodegeneration, and neuroregeneration. Additionally, the included studies investigate potential therapeutic targets and strategies aimed at modulating neuroglia cell activity to ameliorate symptoms and halt disease progression.
Through comprehensive reviews, original research articles, and case studies, this Special Issue provides clinicians and researchers with valuable insights into the clinical relevance of neuroglia cells. The findings presented here have the potential to revolutionize our understanding of neurological disorders and pave the way for novel diagnostic tools and targeted therapies.

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. Journal of Clinical Medicine 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 2600 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.
