Effects of Anti-aging Redox Medicine on Health and Lifespan
This special collection is led by Editor-in-Chief Professor Giuseppe Poli, alongside Guest Editors Enrique Cadenas and Ettore Bologna.
The collection will include review articles contributed by presenters of the 2023 Oxygen Club of California (OCC) Workshop, which forms part of Healthy Aging Week 2023.
Anti-aging redox medicine aims to mitigate cell and tissue damage induced by oxidants (oxidative stress), to maintain or restore optimal mitochondrial function, to promote a balanced immune response and reduce but also prevent chronic inflammatory processes, the latter being well known promoters of cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, metabolic and neoplastic diseases. Certain pathways and genes, such as those associated with sirtuins and mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin), are implicated in the regulation of longevity and aging. Redox signalling molecules are known to interact with these pathways, and targeting these interactions through redox medicine should contribute to promote healthier aging and well-being. It may also contribute to extended lifespan. Last but not least, by preserving the function of tissues and organs and reducing the burden of age-related damage, redox medicine could potentially increase the number of healthy, disease-free years in an individual's life (personalized medicine).
The editors welcome submissions of original research for inclusion in this collection. Please submit to the journal stating in your cover letter that you wish for your article to be considered for this special collection. Alternatively please email the editorial office rem@bioscientifica.com for further information.
