Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most prevalent neurological disease worldwide and is a major risk factor for the aging of the human brain. Unfortunately, there are currently no effective treatment methods nor early detection methods, and the underlying molecular mechanisms of the disease remain poorly understood. Global bulk gene expression profiling has suggested that the disease is governed by diverse transcriptional regulatory networks, which we can resolve into disease-related differentially expressed cell-type specific genes through bioinformatic/statistical analyses. These may include ANOVA, classification methods, and network and gene ontology analyses. An enhanced understanding of the disease may enable genomic interventions to be performed.
The aim of this Special Issue is to collect the latest molecular informatics and genomics research on Alzheimer’s disease. We invite authors to submit research articles and/or review articles that fulfil this purpose. All research articles or reviews should present research at the molecular level, as well as verified experiments.

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.
