Special Issue on Glioma

Glioma is a type of tumor that starts in the brain or spine. Gliomas originate in the glial cells in the brain. Glial cells are the tissue that helps to keep the neurons in place and functioning well. The exact causes of gliomas are still a mystery. Hereditary genetic disorders and tuberous sclerosis complex are known to predispose to their development.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Glioma. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Astrocytomas
• Brainstem glioma
• Ependymomas
• Glioblastomas
• Gliomatosis cerebri
• Mixed gliomas
• Oligodendrogliomas
• Optic nerve glioma

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue - Glioma” should be selected during your submission.
