Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is part of a series with, “Genetic and Epigenetic Mechanisms of Longevity and Aging----Volume I”.
Aging is an inevitable outcome of life, and healthy aging can be preserved through various interventions.
We are assisting in increasing the life expectancy of the population, in parallel to a rise in research studies on biological and molecular factors implicated in age-related pathologies.
Accumulating evidence links aging to genetic and epigenetic alterations, and studies already suggest that the maintenance of cellular homeostasis, inflammation, oxidative stress response, DNA repair, nutritional intervention, and cellular senescence are crucial players.
This Special Issue aims to provide an overview of and update on the analysis of the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms of human aging and longevity to establish links between common gene pathways and hallmark genetic and epigenetic signatures that can be used to identify “druggable” targets to counter age-related disease and promote longevity.
We invite submissions of reviews, research articles, and short manuscripts related to genetic and epigenetic mechanisms in organismal aging and longevity, including the characterization of longevity-related genes, analysis of gene expression profiles, and novel insights into the regulation of gene expression and gene pathways with the potential to develop novel therapeutic and rejuvenation approaches for prevention, treatment, diagnosis, and prognosis in age-related diseases or to promote longevity.

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. Biology 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 2700 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
