Aims and Scope

Aging Research is an Open Access publication addressing the biology and medicine issues of aging and aging-related diseases.

Aging Research publishes original research results that are of unusual significance or broad conceptual or technical advances in all areas of aging, longevity and aging related health issues. The journal focuses on the following research: to explore the process, mechanism, biomarkers, anti-aging strategies or drugs at the population, individual, system, organ, tissue, cell and subcellular levels; to study the epidemiological characteristics, pathogenesis, pathophysiological processes, diagnostic criteria, clinical experiments and translational research of age-related diseases.

Particularly, following manuscripts are also welcome:

  • Innovative phenotypic reporting without relevant mechanisms;
  • Innovative clinical case reports;
  • Studies with negative results.

Aging Research aims to foster interactions among different areas of this diverse field of research and to promote new and exciting ideas within and beyond the research community, to enable synergy and maximize scientific and societal impact.
