Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There has been an accumulation of knowledge by many researchers on polyamines. Polyamines are essential for the survival and function of all living organisms. In recent years, polyamines have been reported to be associated with healthy longevity and various areas of disease that have not been previously examined. Unfortunately, however, some of these studies have been conducted without fully understanding the properties of polyamines that have been accumulated to date. Furthermore, because of this, the effects of polyamine degradation products have been erroneously reported as the direct effects of polyamines. Therefore, in this Special Issue, we would like to accumulate new findings on polyamines for healthy longevity and polyamines and diseases, based on a full understanding of conventional findings and the characteristics of polyamines. We invite papers on polyamines and health, including basic research, clinical studies, and even epidemiological studies.
Dr. Kuniyasu Soda
