Special Issue Information
Dear colleague,
The “Developmental Aging” special issue of the Journal of Developmental Biology publishes original research and timely review articles on all aspects of aging. The special issue aims to increase our knowledge of the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying developmental aging and age-related dysfunctions.
In particular, this special issue mainly invites contributions that report on the following issues in aging:
- telomere erosion;
- epigenetic alterations;
- genomic instability;
- loss of proteostasis;
- deregulated metabolism;
- mitochondrial dysfunction;
- cellular senescence;
- impaired intercellular communication;
- impaired circadian clock; and
- stem cell
