Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is our very pleasure to announce a Special Issue released by the International Journal of Molecular Sciences (IJMS) associated to the 5th meeting of our TransportDEMENTIA meeting series. The meeting will take place in the Capital of the Arctic, Tromsø, from August 28 until September 1, 2023. More information about the venue can be found on www.pahnkelab.eu/TD5.
The TransportDEMENTIA meeting series has established itself as a premier platform for cutting-edge research outlet amongst leading researchers from multiple disciplines. This year’s topic “From Advanced Technologies to Applied Translational Medicine” will strongly combine chemical biology, molecular mechanisms, and clinical implications of membrane-bound transporter systems in human health and disease, particularly:
• The Role of ABC and SLC Transporters in Health and Disease
New Insights into the Pathophysiology of Transporter-related Processes
• The Role of ABC A1/A7 Transporters in Neurodegenerative Diseases
From Risk Factors to Disease Rescue – Function of A-Group Transporters
• The Role of ABC and SLC Transporters in Drug Disposition and Discovery
From Undesired Side Effects to Advanced Drug Development Pipelines
• Cellular and Animal Disease Models of Neurodegenerative Diseases
New Disease Models – Links between Diseases and Translational Applications
• Transporter-associated Disease Model Systems
In vitro, In vivo, and Clinical Applications
• Structural, Functional, and Regulatory Aspects of Transport Processes
From Solute Translocation to Signal Transduction, Trafficking, and Cascades
• Improved Analytical Methods and New Assays
New ABC Transporter Assays / Mass Spectrometry Imaging / OMICS
• New Advanced Technologies
From Computational Interaction Prediction to AI and Imaging Techniques
• Multi-omics & Bioactivity Networks
From Prote-, Metabol- and Lipidomics to Interactomics and Bioinformatics
• ABC Transporters for Clinical Use
PET Imaging / Specific Metabolites for Disease Detection / Treatment
• Translation between Fields
Methods / Assays / (Poly)pharmacology / Medicine / Animals / AI / Patients
TransportDEMENTIA5 prioritizes fruitful scientific discussions and exchange of information between scientists and clinicians of all career stages – particularly promoting our next-generation research force – connecting with global networks of excellent researchers. Together we will synergize to face and tackle the obstacles of today’s life sciences with a specific view on ABC and SLC transporters.
We welcome commentaries as well as original research and review articles related to the above topics. If you feel not represented but would like to contribute, please send us an enquiry.
The meeting attendees are particularly encouraged to submit their findings to this Special Issue, and a discount applies for every submission.

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.
