Nutraceuticals and Healthy Aging: Molecular Mechanisms and Therapeutic Perspectives

Dear Colleagues,

Aging is a complex and multifactorial biological process associated with a progressive decline in physiological function and an increased risk of chronic diseases such as neurodegeneration, metabolic dysfunction, cardiovascular disease, skin aging, menopausal disorders, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and bone and joint diseases. In this context, interest in nutraceuticals, bioactive compounds with natural origin and with potential health benefits, has grown exponentially in recent years. This Special Issue aims to collect articles and reviews that explore the molecular mechanisms by which nutraceuticals can help promote healthy aging, delay the onset of age-related diseases, and improve quality of life in the elderly population. The goal is to provide an up-to-date, interdisciplinary overview of the role of nutraceuticals in healthy aging, integrating research from fields such as biochemistry, molecular biology, physiology, pharmacology, nutrition, and clinical medicine.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
