The characterization of extracellular vesicles from packed red blood cells

Featured article: Transmission of α-synuclein-containing erythrocyte-derived extracellular vesicles across the blood-brain barrier via adsorptive mediated transcytosis: another mechanism for initiation and progression of Parkinson’s disease?

Professor Zhang et al investigate the mechanism of extracellular vesicle transmission across the blood-brain barrier as it relates to Parkinson's Disease.

Featured article: Novel compound PBT434 prevents iron mediated neurodegeneration and alpha-synuclein toxicity in multiple models of Parkinson’s disease

Dr. Finkelstein et al report the preclinical characterization of PBT434, a novel quinazolinone compound bearing a moderate affinity metal-binding motif, which is in development for Parkinsonian conditions.

EUROTAU: Reflections on the Status Quo

A series of articles from the first EUROTAU meeting.

EUROTAU is an innovative, collaborative research initiative established to tackle unanswered research questions and the mounting challenges posed by Tauopathies.

Our commitment to excellent author service

ANC is committed to rapid publication. We aim to publish all research articles within 2 months of submission, subject to authors responding to requests within the required timeframe. If the publication of your article exceeds 2 months from submission, you may be entitled to a full waiver or discount of the article-processing charge on your next submission to the journal. This policy excludes manuscripts delayed for reasons outside of the Publisher's control, such as delays resulting from ethics-related issues or queries concerning your manuscript. All claims will be considered on a case-by-case basis. For further information or to make a claim, please contact editorial@actaneurocomms.org.

Sister journal

ANC is sister journal to Acta Neuropathologica, a journal dedicated to the pathology and mechanisms of neurological disease.

Editors' quotes

"Acta Neuropathologica Communications is an open access, peer-reviewed online journal. Like our sister journal Acta Neuropathologica we focus on pathology and mechanisms of neurological disease. We publish high quality articles that do not require major manuscript revisions. We offer very fast turnaround times, publication of papers within two months following submission, enthusiastic editors, and a competitive article-processing charge. Try it out!"

Werner Paulus, co-Editor-in-Chief, ANC

"Acta Neuropathologica Communications is a journal for researchers working on human neurological disease and has a focus on neuropathology. However, since we believe that an interdisciplinary approach is highly valuable to advance the field, our journal is not restricted to classical neuropathological articles. Therefore, we also welcome high-quality submissions from other disciplines as long as they do ultimately aim to advance our understanding of human neurological disease. We try our best to help you with the submission process and in case of any questions do not hesitate to contact the Editors-in-Chief directly."
