Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This is the second edition of “Understanding Aging Mechanisms to Prevent Age-Related Diseases” that previously published ten papers.
During recent decades, the percentage of people over 65 years old, as well as the lifespan, has increased considerably and is expected to increase further in the coming years. Aging in good health has, therefore, become a societal and economic issue. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms of aging and preventing it by opposing the onset of age-related diseases are public health issues. In this context, it is important to identify the genetic and epigenetic factors that can influence aging and to determine the associated mechanisms. It is now crucial to determine strategies that slow down aging in order to oppose the onset of age-related diseases. Identifying predictive biomarkers of age-related diseases is a major challenge, as is the discovery of molecules that can oppose aging and the occurrence of associated diseases. This Special Issue of Cells, entitled 'Understanding Aging Mechanisms to Prevent Age-Related Diseases', aims to bring together relevant research studies dealing with cellular, molecular, pharmacological, and nutritional aspects of aging and age-related diseases. We look forward to your submissions.

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. Cells is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
