GeroScience

GeroScience (formerly Age; Journal of the American Aging Association) is a leading scientific journal focused on the biology of aging and on mechanistic studies using clinically relevant models of aging and chronic age-related diseases that provide novel information relevant for increasing the health span/quality of life and lifespan in the elderly. It is an international peer-reviewed monthly and the official journal of the American Aging Association, an organization dedicated to biomedical aging studies and geroscience, with the goal of slowing the aging process to extend the healthy human lifespan while preserving and restoring functions typically lost to age-related degeneration.[1]. GeroScience welcomes manuscripts on specific mechanisms that intersect aging and chronic disease pathways, including: chronic low-grade inflammation, cellular senescence, macromolecular damage, oxidative-nitrative stress, maladaptation to cellular and molecular stresses, impaired stem cell function and regeneration, alterations in proteostasis, epigenetic dysregulation, impaired mitochondrial function and cellular metabolism.GeroScience is especially interested in manuscripts developing innovative strategies to improve cardiovascular, neurocognitive, and musculoskeletal health-span and welcomes studies using a variety of experimental approaches, including in vivo studies and investigations using isolated tissue preparations and cultured cells. GeroScience will also publish articles seeking to understand the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying aging processes. The scope of the journal includes evolutionary biology, biophysics, genetics, genomics, proteomics, molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry, endocrinology, immunology, physiology, pharmacology, neuroscience, and veterinary sciences. It is published by Springer Science+Business Media, and the editor-in-Chiefs are Zoltan Ungvari, MD, PhD and William E. Sonntag, PhD.[2] Its 2018 impact factor is 6.44.[2]
