Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia in the world. Identified as a neurodegenerative disease that mainly affects the elderly, it profoundly changes the functioning of the brain, thereby affecting cognitive functions such as memory to the point of threatening the autonomy of patients and altering their quality of life as well as that of those around them. These devastating consequences clearly pose a priority societal and public health issue.
The very active multidisciplinary research that began decades ago continues to explore many very diverse avenues, with the aim of contributing to improving diagnosis as well as the treatment and care of patients. Thousands of researchers around the world are still working today to better understand the causes of the disease, as well as the mechanisms involved in its onset and progression, particularly in order to identify preventive or curative therapeutic solutions.
The aim of this Special Issue is to bring together some of the most recent and convincing advances in the cellular and molecular mechanisms associated with Alzheimer’s disease, without bias or a priori on the hypotheses developed. This Special Issue will accept original studies as well as reviews.

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.
