Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Our understanding of the biology of aging and life expectancy has increased tremendously over the past 20 years. In addition to genetically manipulating the lifespan and aging rate of many animal species, it has been proven that using small molecules or acting on the environment to target some of the properties of aging can delay or prevent the development of many diseases, or even cause tissue and organism rejuvenation. As human aging, or life expectancy, is prolonged, related diseases are also evolving, and many researchers are paying attention to the efforts of the science and technology community to prevent or treat them. Of the numerous mechanisms known to date, by far the most significant is oxidative stress. Although it is an important mechanism, the inability to conquer aging may also be due to the lack of accurate understanding and utilization of oxidative stress.
In this Special Issue, as part of a step toward conquering aging with oxidative stress, we will devise a new aging-related treatment using antioxidants and plan a collection of papers studying aging diseases from a new perspective.
