Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ageing is a complex biological process driven by a network of interconnected molecular mechanisms that influence cellular homeostasis, tissue function, and overall organismal health. Over the past few decades, significant progress has been made in understanding the molecular underpinnings of ageing, particularly in relation to the 12 hallmarks of ageing, which include genomic instability, telomere attrition, epigenetic alterations, mitochondrial dysfunction, and altered intercellular communication. These mechanisms shape the ageing trajectory and contribute to the onset of age-related diseases, making them prime targets for therapeutic intervention. Recent advancements in molecular biology and translational research have led to the identification of novel biomarkers and potential interventions that could mitigate the effects of ageing and enhance longevity.
For this Special Issue of Current Issues in Molecular Biology, we invite the submission of high-quality original research articles and comprehensive reviews that explore recent developments in ageing research. We welcome contributions that delve into the molecular and cellular mechanisms of ageing, the role of telomere biology, the interplay between ageing hallmarks, and their implications in clinical practice. Studies on novel biomarkers, therapeutic strategies, and translational applications in ageing-related disorders are particularly encouraged.
This Special Issue reflects the valuable contributions of MPharm Miruna-Maria Apetroaei from Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Romania, who serves as Assistant Guest Editor, playing a key role in supporting its editorial management and coordination.
We also extend our gratitude to Acad. Dr. Aristides M. Tsatsakis from the University of Crete, Greece, for his vision in conceptualizing this Special Issue, fostering collaboration, and providing essential oversight throughout its development.
Prof. Dr. Andreea Letitia Arsene

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. Current Issues in Molecular 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 2200 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.
