We are delighted to announce that our recent publication on microbial influences in Alzheimer’s disease has been selected for the cover story for Volume 13, Issue 1 (January 2025) of Microorganisms journal. This recognition by the journal highlights the significance and timeliness of our research in challenging traditional paradigms of Alzheimer’s Disease treatment.

The cover image, featuring our figure illustrating the complex interactions between microbial communities and AD pathogenesis, represents our comprehensive analysis of how various microbial factors, including the gut-brain axis, oral microbiome, brain biofilms, and viral infections, may contribute to the development and progression of Alzheimer’s disease.

This work, led by Dr. Anna Onisiforou (Head of our Systems Bioinformatics Unit in Cyprus), not only questions the limitations of the traditional amyloid cascade hypothesis but also opens new avenues for therapeutic interventions through microbiome-based approaches. The selection of our review as the cover story underscores the growing recognition of microbial factors as crucial elements in understanding and potentially treating Alzheimer’s disease.
