Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is critical to elucidate molecular and physiological mechanisms by which metabolic homeostasis is altered with aging in order to improve therapeutic strategies for the elderly. Accumulating evidence suggests that an age-related impairment is postulated to be a mechanism for a decline in stress tolerance observed with aging. In addition, significant progress has been made by demonstrating that metabolic homeostasis and inflammatory response play key roles in age-related cardiovascular and neurovascular diseases and cancer. Identifying good pharmacological approaches on these age-related diseases is an unmet need in the biomedical research field to prevent, delay or reverse the age-related impairments. This Special Issue of Life welcomes all related research papers and review articles associated with age-related diseases.

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. Life is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
