Aging Cell is an Open Access publication addressing the fundamental issues in the biology of aging. The journal covers all areas of geroscience, highlighting research that reports the mechanistic aspects of the aging process, as well as the links between aging and age-related disease.

Aging Cell considers for publication, articles on the following topics:

Basic molecular and cellular aging processes
Established and emerging hallmarks of aging
Disease conditions informed by aging science
Clinical trials based on geroscience leads
Academic-industry studies in geroscience
Basic and clinical biomarkers of aging
New theories of aging and comparative studies

OUT OF SCOPE: Purely descriptive studies will not be considered unless they report major new advances within the field of study. Papers that focus on the pathogenesis of a specific age-related disease will be considered if they offer new insights into fundamental questions in the biology of aging.
