Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, several reports have been conducted on foods possessing anti-aging effects. For this Special Issue, we welcome submissions studying the functionality and molecular mechanisms of foods and food components that exhibit anti-aging activity. Manuscripts that demonstrate functionalities in vivo as well as in vitro of anti-aging foods focusing on nutrients are also welcome.
There have also been numerous reports on food-induced organ–organ interactions and the mediators involved in these interactions. We also welcome submissions exploring the activation of systemic tissue/organ interactions and their molecular mechanisms by foods and food components.
In this Special Issue, original research articles, reviews, and systematic reviews are welcome. We invite researchers and scientists from food and nutritional sciences to share their expertise and contribute to this Special Issue.
Prof. Dr. Yoshinori Katakura
