Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Chronic and age-related diseases are important challenges facing healthcare providers. While there is an increasing understanding of the pathways that underlie ageing processes, and hence the susceptibility to disease, there are clearly pathways and variants that result in or contribute to the development of specific diseases. Some chronic diseases may simply be the result of cumulative damage, but it is clear that ageing can affect the development of disease, either directly or indirectly. To fully understand the effect of ageing and to identify potential pathways for intervention and disease treatment, we must study individual diseases as well as ageing itself. In this Special Issue, we will highlight patient and model studies investigating chronic and age-related disease, and their relationship to ageing.
