Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, entitled “Biomarkers’ Identification of Aging and Age-Related Pathologies”, focuses on the study and identification of specific biological markers that can be used to understand and diagnose the process of aging and various age-related diseases and conditions. In this context, biomarkers are measurable indicators found in the body that can provide information about the biological processes associated with aging and age-related pathologies. These biomarkers can include genetic markers, epigenetic modifications, protein levels, metabolites, imaging markers, and other measurable characteristics.
The scope of this Special Issue is interdisciplinary and encompasses various fields, including molecular biology, genetics, epigenetics, bioinformatics, clinical medicine, and gerontology. This Special Issue aims to improve our understanding of the aging process and age-related diseases, and facilitate the development of personalized medicine and interventions for healthy aging. Publications may include aspects such as the identification, discovery, validation and characterization of biomarkers associated with aging and age-related pathologies, diagnostic and prognostic applications, mechanistic insights and therapeutic implications.
