Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia that accounts for around 50 million cases worldwide. Increasing life expectancy will triple this number by 2050. As long as we remain unable to reverse or prevent AD, its clinical, social, and economic burden will steadily increase hopelessly. The majority of AD cases are sporadic, indicating that the molecular mechanisms that trigger the late onset of the disease are still unknown. Currently, there is no definitive cure for AD, and current clinical interventions help to palliate some clinical symptoms. Prevention and modification of potential risk factors may reduce the probability of developing this type of dementia, but new and more effective therapeutic strategies are needed to prevent, slow down, or even halt the progression of the disease. This Special Issue aims to shed light on the recently described molecular mechanisms that are involved in Alzheimer's pathology, as well as collecting the latest advances in therapeutic interventions to combat this devastating condition.

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. Cells is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
