Ageing and Neurodegenerative Diseases, Second Edition

Dear Colleagues,

AD and diabetes are two age-related diseases, and some studies have shown patients with diabetes to have an increasing risk of developing AD compared with those without the disease. For example, type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients have been observed to have reduced grey matter, white matter, hippocampus, and whole-brain volumes compared with healthy individuals. Although impaired insulin signaling has been found to be a key component of AD pathology and a hallmark of diabetes, the mechanistic pathway that links these two diseases is still not fully understood.

This Special Issue will accept original articles and reviews in the field of neurodegenerative disease. It also welcomes studies investigating age-related diseases’ complex interactions, potential disease biomarkers, and novel drug therapies. Manuscripts focusing on noncoding RNAs in neurodegenerative disease and the underlying biological mechanisms are particularly sought-after.

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. Cells 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 2700 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.
