BMC Medicine publishes first commissioned minireview

“Recent developments in Alzheimer’s disease therapeutics”, written by Michael Rafii and Paul Aisen, reviews current strategies for tackling a disease that affects more than 37 million people worldwide. By assessing recent clinical trials that have tested drug therapies for Alzheimer’s disease, the authors discuss the most promising potential future treatments of this debilitating disease. 

This article constitutes the first of a series of reviews and minireviews that will be published in BMC Medicine. 

We would also like to welcome Paul Aisen as one of several new members of the BMC Medicine Editorial Board. We look forward to working further with him and the rest of the Editorial Board to bring you more thought-provoking and informative content.

The editors are pleased to announce that submission of reviews and minireviews is now open via our electronic submission system - we will consider those that offer our readers a broad range of content. If you have an idea for a review or minireview that you feel would be of interest to the general medical/clinical audience, we welcome pre-submission enquiries, with a short abstract, an outline of your experience in the field, and an explanation of the importance and novelty of the article. We also welcome submissions of original research that are suited to our scope. To be appropriate for BMC Medicine articles need to be of outstanding quality, broad interest and special importance.

We hope you will enjoy our first minireview, and we look forward to receiving your ideas for future reviews in BMC Medicine.
