Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dementia is a neurodegenerative disorder and the 7th leading cause of death worldwide. The risk of developing dementia may vary depending on the following factors: biological ageing, apolipoprotein E genotype, hypertension, diabetes, smoking, alcohol, depression and so on. It is a syndrome caused by a number of diseases, which over time destroy nerve cells and damage the brain, leading to cognitive dysfunction. The illness worsens over time and currently cannot be cured by regular treatment, while early diagnosis and prognosis bring individuals and their carers some benefits, e.g., by allowing patients to make informed decisions and plan ahead, seek support on financial and legal matters, and receive practical guidance as they face new challenges. Effectively utilizing AI techniques can reliably and timely predict the severity of individuals suffering from mild cognitive impairment and dementia.
This Special Issue aims to showcase the interdisciplinary research across computing, biology, medicine, and bioinformatics based on non-imaging and imaging data for neurodegeneration prediction, finding quantitative key significant factors of the disease that may include, but are not limited to, molecular mechanisms with biological and medical implications.
Please kindly note that the journal focuses on the structures and functions of bioactive as well as biogenic substances, molecular mechanisms with biological and medical implications, and biomaterials and their applications. Pure clinical research will not be considered.
Original research articles and reviews are welcome. We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Biomolecules is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
