Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The concept of mild and chronic inflammation associated with biological aging, known as inflammaging, has revolutionized our understanding and views toward the complex process of aging for the last two decades. Given the pivotal role of the brain and central nervous system (CNS) in living and survival, it is a dire need to better understand the interactions between inflammatory responses and components of the CNS within and beyond the borders of brain–blood barriers. Therefore, the scope of the articles to be considered for the Special Issue is focused on novel concepts, research and methods elucidating and improving our current understanding of brain aging, immune and cellular senescence, immunobiography, genetic and immunogenetic, as well as molecular and cellular properties of inflammaging, along with their impact on CNS aging and age-associated/related neurological diseases and pathological events connected to this process.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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.
