Now Accepting Submissions: Special Collection on Cognitive Aging

  By

In this special collection, Aging seeks to bring together cutting-edge research that spans the cellular and molecular underpinnings of cognitive aging with insights into the psychosocial, behavioral, and environmental factors that modulate its course.

BUFFALO, NY — July 8, 2025 — As populations worldwide continue to age, understanding the mechanisms and manifestations of cognitive aging is increasingly urgent for science, medicine, and society. Age-related cognitive decline ranges from mild memory lapses to the onset of dementia, and is shaped by a complex interplay of molecular, cellular, systemic, and social determinants.

In this special collection, Aging (Aging-US) seeks to bring together cutting-edge research that spans the cellular and molecular underpinnings of cognitive aging with insights into the psychosocial, behavioral, and environmental factors that modulate its course. By integrating basic biology with translational and societal dimensions, this collection aims to foster a holistic understanding of how and why cognitive function changes with age—and what can be done to preserve it.

We welcome original research articles, reviews, and perspectives across model systems and human studies, particularly those that promote interdisciplinary insights and translational potential.

POTENTIAL TOPICS

Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms

  • Senescence, inflammation, and neurodegeneration in cognitive decline
  • Mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress in aging neurons
  • Neurovascular aging and blood-brain barrier integrity
  • Single-cell and spatial transcriptomics of the aging brain
  • mTOR, autophagy, and proteostasis in age-related cognitive impairment
  • The role of glial cells (microglia, astrocytes) in brain aging

 Genetics and Biomarkers

  • Genetic risk factors and epigenetic modifications associated with cognitive aging
  • Biomarkers of cognitive resilience and vulnerability
  • Neuroimaging and fluid-based biomarkers in aging populations

Interventions and Lifestyle Factors

  • Cognitive benefits of caloric restriction, exercise, or senolytic therapies
  • Preclinical and clinical trials targeting aging pathways to prevent cognitive decline
  • Impact of sleep, nutrition, and metabolic health on cognition in older adults
  • Use of cognitive strategies and compensatory techniques to maintain or enhance function in aging

Environmental and Social Contexts

  • Impact of social isolation, education, and socioeconomic status on cognitive trajectories
  • Lifelong cognitive reserve and its determinants
  • Cross-cultural and demographic studies on aging and cognition
  • Digital health tools for monitoring or enhancing cognitive function in the elderly

Call for Papers: Commemorative Collection Honoring Dr. Judith Campisi

  By
Dr. Judith Campisi

“This collection is published in memory of Professor Judith Campisi, a pioneering force in the field of cellular senescence whose groundbreaking work shaped the understanding of senescence in aging, cancer, and tissue homeostasis.”

BUFFALO, NY — May 1, 2025 — Aging (Aging-US) invites submissions for a Special Collection dedicated to the theme of cellular senescence, spanning its basic mechanisms, physiological and pathological functions, and clinical applications.

This collection is published in memory of Professor Judith Campisi, a pioneering force in the field of cellular senescence whose groundbreaking work shaped the understanding of senescence in aging, cancer, and tissue homeostasis. Her legacy continues to inspire generations of scientists working to decode the complex biology of senescent cells and their impact on health and disease.

We welcome original research articles, reviews, and perspectives on topics including:

  • Fundamental mechanisms of senescence induction and maintenance
  • Regulation and context-specific roles of the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP)
  • Beneficial and detrimental effects of senescent cells in vivo
  • Senescence in development, aging, regeneration, and age-related diseases
  • Biomarkers, imaging, and tools for senescence detection and quantification
  • Therapeutic targeting of senescent cells: senolytics, senomorphics, and clinical translation

This Special Collection is guest edited by Han Li and Irina Conboy, both internationally recognized leaders in the study of senescence and aging.

Dr. Mikhail Blagosklonny

“This special collection will explore key themes central to Dr. Blagosklonny’s scientific contributions, with a focus on mechanistic insights, translational approaches, and theoretical perspectives.”

BUFFALO, NY — April 3, 2025 — Aging (Aging-US) is pleased to announce a special Call for Papers for a commemorative collection honoring the legacy of Dr. Mikhail (Misha) Blagosklonny, the founding editor of the journal and a pioneer in aging biology. His groundbreaking work shaped fundamental concepts in the field, particularly regarding the role of mTOR in aging and cancer, the use of rapamycin, bypassing senescence during the process of transformation, personalized medicine, and theories on why we age.

This special collection will explore key themes central to Dr. Blagosklonny’s scientific contributions, with a focus on mechanistic insights, translational approaches, and theoretical perspectives. We invite original research, reviews, and perspective articles covering topics such as:

  • The role of mTOR in aging and age-related diseases
  • Rapamycin and other pharmacological strategies to extend lifespan
  • Senescence bypass and its implications for cancer and regenerative medicine
  • Personalized medicine approaches in aging and longevity research
  • Theoretical models and evolutionary perspectives on aging

The special issue will be guest-edited by leading scientist in the field, David Gems, who will oversee the selection of high-quality contributions that reflect the depth and impact of Dr. Blagosklonny’s work.

We encourage researchers working on these topics to submit their manuscripts and contribute to this tribute to one of the most influential figures in aging research.

SUBMISSION DETAILS:

We look forward to your contributions to this special issue and to honoring Dr. Blagosklonny’s enduring impact on the field of aging research.
