Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Aging is a natural process that every individual undergoes as they progress through life. Cellular aging and cell aging are terms often used interchangeably to describe the process of deterioration and functional decline in cells as they age. However, there is a subtle distinction between the two concepts. Cellular aging refers to the overall process of aging at the cellular level, encompassing various molecular and physiological changes that occur in cells over time. On the other hand, cell aging refers explicitly to the state or condition of individual cells as they undergo aging processes. Differentiation is important because while cellular aging may involve a wide range of changes that affect multiple cells within an organism, cell aging focuses on the specific characteristics and changes within an individual cell as it ages. The concept of anti-aging refers to efforts and interventions to slow down or reverse the aging process. For this Special Issue, original and review articles on the aforementioned topics that are relevant to humans and animals are welcome.

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.
