Dear Colleagues,

This special issue entitled “Neurodegenerative diseases: New drugs for prevention and treatment, and mechanisms of occurrence,” will publish original scientific articles, short communications, and review articles that present the latest advances in the development of drugs with neuroprotective properties; in addition, the mechanisms of disease occurrence will be considered. Neurodegeneration is the primary pathophysiological change in most diseases of the central nervous system. On this topic, the most relevant areas of research are the development of new drugs for the prevention and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, as well as genetic studies to determine the mechanisms underlying their occurrence. The new special issue of Frontiers in Bioscience – Landmark will be dedicated to the search for new biochemical pathways through which disease correction can be carried out, as well as genetic mechanisms involved in disorders such as trinucleotide repeat diseases (spinocerebral ataxia and others), Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
