Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Inflammaging represents chronic, sterile, low-grade inflammation during aging and in age-related diseases. These age-related diseases may include osteoarthritis, sarcopenia, polyarthritis, metabolic syndrome, diabetic mellitus, neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease, cardiovascular disease, cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and chronic kidney disease. The contribution of inflammaging during aging is gradually widely known, but in age-related diseases, this puzzle must be solved.
Another character of aging and age-related disease is immunosenescence, or aging immunity. Immunosenescence has been widely studied in cancer, chronic kidney disease, and autoimmune disease. However, the role of immunosenescence in a other age-related disease remained to be elucidated.
Authors are invited to submit manuscripts discussing inflammaging or immunosenescence, focusing either on the basic or translational aspects, particularly related to autoimmunity and age-related diseases. The Special Issue welcomes up-to-date comprehensive reviews and research articles. Clinical studies combined with molecular research, if relevant, as well as computational modeling, are also welcome.
