Description
With the field of aging biology research expanding at an unprecedented rate, the exploration of anti-ageing strategies has emerged as a highly topical and novel area of study over the past few decades. These strategies include oxidative stress control, epigenetic reprogramming, circadian rhythm regulation, gut microbiota adjustment, and pharmaceutical intervention. However, one of the chief driving forces for ageing, carbonyl stress, has been relatively understudied. This stress is responsible for multiple pathological metabolic conditions, including diabetic complications, cardiovascular diseases, depression, dementia, cancer, and ageing. Therefore, combating carbonyl stress is urgent in postponing ageing and extending a healthy lifespan. Foods, with their potential to reduce carbonyl stress and elongate longevity, are a promising avenue of research. This special issue, dedicated to the anti-ageing effects and mechanisms of food bioactives in combating carbonyl stress, aims to gather contributions and research that could significantly advance our understanding of ageing and its related metabolic conditions.
The scope of this special issue will cover ageing-related, but not limited to:
