Abstract: aimed at studying them as biologically active molecules essential for cell fate, especially in the central nervous system (CNS).This special issue includes nine papers, five reviews and four research articles, covering some of the more recent and exciting findings about the role in the brain physiopathology.The first paper of the special issue is a review written by Corraliza-Gomez et al. "LipidBinding Proteins in Brain Health and Disease" that summarizes a systematic literature search to identify lipid interacting proteins and the biological processes in which they are involved related to nervous system function and dysfunction. Lipid-binding scaffolding proteins, membrane transporters and receptors and transcription regulators contribute to blood brain barrier crossing and maintenance, control of oxidative stress and inflammation, organelle function, vesicle trafficking, myelin management and amyloid dynamics. When altered, they may become therapeutic options. Thus, the special issue gives an overview about the current knowledge and highlight interesting new insights into the roles of the complex world of lipids in the brain and on its involvement in NDD.
