Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder and a leading cause of dementia worldwide. Despite decades of research, its complex molecular underpinnings remain only partially understood, and effective disease-modifying therapies are still limited. Recent advances in molecular and cellular neuroscience, proteomics, genomics, and imaging have significantly expanded our understanding of the mechanisms driving AD pathogenesis. Key pathways, including amyloid-β aggregation, tau hyperphosphorylation, autophagy impairment, proteostasis imbalance, oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation, are being revisited through the lens of modern molecular technologies.
This Special Issue, titled “Latest Research in Alzheimer’s Disease”, will highlight cutting-edge molecular discoveries that shed light on disease initiation and progression, as well as emerging therapeutic approaches. We welcome original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and short communications focusing on molecular signaling, biomarker identification, and mechanistic studies on AD. Submissions exploring novel therapeutic compounds, gene regulation, stem cell and organoid models, and multi-omics integration for personalized medicine are particularly encouraged. By bringing together recent breakthroughs in molecular biology and translational neuroscience, this Special Issue will provide a holistic view of the evolving landscape of Alzheimer’s research and stimulate innovative strategies for prevention and treatment.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
