Molecular Research of Aging Stress Response

Dear Colleagues,

Aging is closely related to abnormalities in adaptation to various environmental stresses, such as DNA damage response, redox response to oxidative stress, inflammatory stress response to tissue damage, endoplasmic reticulum stress response, mitochondrial stress response, etc. It is extremely important to elucidate the aging process of these various system response mechanisms during aging in order to clarify the aging mechanism. It is also significant in aging research to understand how these aging stress response mechanisms protect or damage cells and tissues at the molecular level. This Special Issue invites and welcomes papers that clarify the relationship between the molecular basis of various stress responses and aging, including age-related diseases.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
