Call for papers: Aging and Disease
Special Issue: ‘Recent advances in aging-related diseases: Evidence from molecular mechanisms to interventions and therapies’
Deadline for submission of articles: July 30, 2024
Special Issue Information:
Aging is an irreversible pathophysiological process that occurs with a decline in tissue and cell function and a significant increase in the risk of various aging-related diseases, including neurological, cardiovascular, metabolic, and immune system diseases. As aging is one of the major risk factors for most chronic diseases, understanding the aging process is expected to facilitate the identification of therapeutic targets for age-related diseases and the development of suitable pharmacological agents for approved clinical use in the future. Research on aging mechanisms and intervention methods is important in improving human health and increasing lifespan. Currently, great progress has been made in research on the molecular mechanisms of aging, and progress has been made in understanding the biological and genetic mechanisms of the aging process, as well as a deeper understanding of the pathogenesis of aging. However, these findings are still far from being able to delay human aging and reduce the occurrence of aging-related diseases. Considering the aging of the population, anti-aging and healthy aging are undoubtedly important tasks of public health organizations, scientific research units, and drug research development centers. Although there are many challenges to research on aging and aging-related diseases, many questions still need to be addressed. This special issue aims to publish reviews, opinions, commentaries, letters to the editor, and correspondence describing the mechanisms related to pharmacological, non-pharmacological interventions and therapeutic strategies for aging-related diseases.
