Alzheimer's Disease: From Pathogenic Mechanisms to Therapy

Dear Colleagues,

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive and debilitating neurodegenerative disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. Despite extensive research efforts, the precise pathogenic mechanisms underlying AD remain unclear, and current treatments provide only symptomatic relief. This Special Issue of the International Journal of Molecular Sciences aims to present the latest advances in our understanding of AD pathogenesis and the development of novel therapeutic strategies.

The scope of the issue covers a broad range of topics related to AD research, including the identification of genetic and epigenetic factors that contribute to disease onset and progression, the elucidation of molecular and cellular mechanisms that underlie AD pathogenesis, and the exploration of new biomarkers for early diagnosis and disease monitoring. Additionally, the issue addresses recent progress in the development of novel therapeutic targets and drug candidates, as well as the assessment of clinical trials and translational studies aimed at bringing promising treatments to the clinic.

We welcome original research articles, reviews, and perspectives that cover these topics, as well as others that shed light on the complex nature of AD and its potential treatments. The Special Issue is intended to be a platform for researchers to share their latest findings and insights, and to stimulate further research in this important field.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
