Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Aging not only leads to an increased probability of death but also results in a decline in the quality of life due to frailty, disability and age-related diseases (ARDs) in humans. In fact, aging is the major risk factor for a number of chronic ARDs which have significant economic, health and social impacts. Therefore, strategies to slow or delay the aging process and which benefit both the health span and ARDs are critically needed.
To develop such strategies requires a better understanding of the biochemical changes that constitute the basic biology of aging before we can establish any effective interventions. Despite the long-standing controversy over the free radical theory of aging, it is well accepted that redox signals, which include signals of reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species (RNS), reactive sulfur species (RSS) and more, play essential roles in regulating the aging process and, therefore, have significant clinical implications for ARDs. Greater knowledge of redox signaling in aging will provide us with more tools to slow aging processes which have proven to be intractable.
We are excited to organize this Special Issue which focuses on the regulation of aging and ARDs by redox signals. We hope that the basic science and clinical studies presented in this Special Issue will advance our knowledge and foster new ways to reduce the burden of ARDs and extend the health span.

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.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.
