Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In addition to the rapidly growing elderly population worldwide, the continuous increase in morbidity of age-related diseases has become a big issue, especially in modern society. Fortunately, we are able to designate a standard of clinical care toward these diseases; however, we still cannot not control them completely.
Age-related diseases consist of various diseases. Conditions representatives of them include cancer, metabolic disease, atherosclerosis, neurodegenerative disease, arthritis and so on. In the past few decades, it has become widely accepted that these diseases are defined as inflammatory diseases overall. Chronic inflammation, which is frequently observed in the lesions of age-related disease, commonly contributes to establishing the molecular basis for disease promotion and progression. Thus, to seek a new molecular target and/or new strategies for clinical treatment, researchers are trying to unveil key molecular mechanisms triggering the expression of abnormal cellular functions, followed by progression of inflammation and formation of disease lesion, day and night.
The aims of this Special Issue are to highlight and introduce novel observations in the molecular mechanism underlying inflammatory age-related diseases, and/or findings in the new tools for managing pathological conditions. Fruitful information would be assembled in this issue. We especially welcome submissions of original research articles, short communications, and reviews from experts in age-related diseases and relevant research field.

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.
