Inflammaging: The Immunology of Aging, 2nd Edition
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.
