Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Understanding molecular mechanisms in neurodevelopment and neurodegenerative disorders is regarded as a key component to preventing the initiation of progressive mechanisms. Significant improvement in high throughput technologies such as epigenetics coupled with proteomics, bioinformatics, CRISPR/Cas9 screening, and high-throughput imaging are emerging tools to address molecular complexity of neurodevelopment and neurodegenerative disorders. In this issue, we aim to collect technical and conceptual advances as well as early investigations for emerging neurologic topics including but not limited to Synucleinopathies in Parkinson’s disease, tauopathies in Alzheimer’s disease, Gut-brain axis with inflammation, and microbiome associated epigenetic changes. Authors are invited to submit original research and review articles that seek to define epigenetic factors in neurodevelopment and neurodegenerative disorders.

Assis. Prof. Sung-Ung Kang

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted via our online editorial system at https://imr.propub.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to start your submission. Manuscripts can be submitted now or up until the deadline. All papers will go through peer-review process. Accepted papers will be published in the journal (as soon as accepted) and meanwhile listed together on the special issue website. 

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts will be thoroughly refereed through a double-blind peer-review process. Please visit the Instruction 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 manuscripts should be well formatted in good English.
