Important Notice: Site Security and Restoration of Editorial Processing

We are pleased to announce that the Advancements in Life Sciences (ALS) editorial processing is now fully restored and back online following a recent security incident.

What Happened?
On December 29, 2025, our website encountered a malware-related security issue. To ensure the absolute protection of our data and the integrity of our editorial process, we immediately moved the site into maintenance mode to conduct a thorough recovery and security audit.
