Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Inflammaging or age-related inflammation occurs as a natural process resulting from oxidative stress, cell damage, or a dysregulated immune response and is contributed to in part by lifestyle factors such as poor diet, lack of sleep, lack of exercise, and stress. Moreover, inflammaging is believed to be the predecessor to a variety of diseases, such as neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s disease or Parkinson’s disease. In addition, increased visceral fat and obesity, associated with poor diet, contribute to the inflammaging process that results in metabolic diseases, including diabetes and metabolic syndromes (hypertension and hypercholesterolemia). We invite all scientists working on the immunology of age-related conditions or diseases to participate in this Topic. Original research articles, reviews, or shorter perspective articles on all aspects related to the immunology of aging and age-related processes are welcome. Articles with insights from a cell and molecular biological perspective are especially welcome. Relevant topics include but are not limited to inflammaging and oxidative stress, age-related cardiovascular diseases, the role of extracellular vesicle biology in inflammaging, inflammasome regulation in aging and age-related diseases, inflammation and neurodegeneration, inflammation and joint degeneration, inflammaging and the gut microbiome, and inflammaging and cancer.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.

MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:

  1. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
  2. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
  3. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
  4. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
  5. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
