Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative condition with no cure. In the last three decades, important efforts have been made in the development and characterization of animal models of the disease, with the aim to translate the discoveries made toward the clinical setting. Nonetheless, to date, there is no effective treatment able to counteract the progression of AD. This points toward an urgent need to develop new and more reliable models of the disease.
This Special Issue is focused on manuscripts describing and/or characterizing new animal and cellular models for AD. Special attention will be given to those works employing humanized animal models as well as studies based on human pluripotent stem cell technologies, strategies that should govern AD research in the coming years.
This Special Issue is open to basic and clinical research or multidisciplinary approaches and will also cover original articles and reviews on the following topics:
- Characterization of new models relevant for AD;
- Studies performed employing new cellular and animal models focused on AD;
- Studies employing human pluripotent stem-cell-derived neuronal and glial cells for AD or other neurodegenerative conditions;
- Evaluation of candidate therapies;
- Modeling of Alzheimer’s disease or other neurodegenerative conditions.

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. Biomedicines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.
