Collection Overview
Neurodegenerative diseases remain a major global health concern, and mounting laboratory evidence highlights the prominent role of neuroinflammation and oxidative stress in disease initiation and progression. Experimental studies have revealed critical mechanisms, including microglial activation, mitochondrial dysfunction, reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, ferroptosis, and neuronal apoptosis through the use of cell culture systems, animal models, molecular assays, and advanced imaging technologies. Despite these advances, the successful translation of laboratory findings into clinical applications remains challenging.
This Topical Collection will focus on laboratory and experimental neuroscience approaches investigating the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, stroke, and traumatic brain injury. The collection will highlight innovative methodologies, experimental models, and analytical techniques that enhance our understanding of disease pathogenesis and therapeutic development.
Topics of interest include oxidative stress biomarkers, inflammatory signaling pathways, neuroimmune interactions, blood–brain barrier dysfunction, mitochondrial bioenergetics, ferroptosis, stem cell-based neuroprotection, gene and protein expression profiling, omics technologies, histopathology, immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, advanced imaging, and nanotechnology-based therapeutic strategies.
The collection aims to provide the scientific community with a dedicated platform for sharing reproducible laboratory methods and experimental discoveries, thereby accelerating translational neuroscience research and facilitating the development of novel therapeutic interventions for neurodegenerative diseases.
