Aims and Scope
Aging Cell welcome submissions in the following areas:
Genetics and functional genomics: mutations affecting longevity; gene homologies; organismal and cellular aging; gene manipulation.
Signaling and gene expression: mechanisms linking age-associated changes with phenotypes and physiology; intracellular signaling; interactions between cells and tissues; hormonal, immune, and inflammatory systems.
Cell proliferation, aging and death: replicative senescence; apoptosis; telomere biology and other intrinsic and extrinsic influences; chronological cellular aging; phenotypes of aging cells.
Cell stress and damage: extrinsic and intrinsic influences of free radicals on cells and tissues; free radical defense and damage; free radicals as signaling molecules; stress and aging.
Stem cells and aging: effects of age on stem cell generation; migration and homeostasis; stem cell-niche interactions; regulatory mechanisms.
Integrative physiology: outcomes of aging processes at organismal, cellular and molecular levels.
Biodemography and comparative studies: population and cross-species comparative studies.
New theories of aging and longevity: discussion at the broadest level of established and novel theories of aging and longevity.



Aging Cell was launched in 2002 and is published bimonthly. Article types include:
Novel, peer-reviewed research, concentrating in the areas described above.
Reviews and minireviews assessing high-profile recent research.
Commentaries evaluating especially important current papers in the Journal or other leading journals.
Development and criticism of general theories of biological aging.
