Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a call for papers in a Special Issue entitled “Recent Advances in Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB) and Alzheimer's Disease (AD)”. The Issue aims to create a comprehensive forum for neurologists, researchers, geriatricians, and healthcare professionals to disseminate cutting-edge findings. We welcome submissions on a broad range of topics, including but not limited to, the following:
- Novel disease-modifying therapies: Anti-amyloid, anti-tau, and anti-alpha-synuclein approaches; immunotherapies; and targeted small molecules.
- Symptomatic treatment innovations: Advanced management of cognitive, psychiatric, and motor symptoms.
- Biomarker-driven treatment: The role of PET, CSF, and blood-based biomarkers in diagnosis, patient selection, and monitoring treatment efficacy and safety.
- Other molecular mechanisms/pathways: The application of digital health and other technologies to these diseases.
We invite the submission of original research articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and case series that push the boundaries of our understanding and pave the way for the next generation of dementia care.
Prof. Dr. Yuan-Han Yang
Guest Editor
