Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As is well known, life expectancy has increased worldwide. Unfortunately, this increase in lifespan is not accompanied in most older individuals by an increase in healthy life expectancy, the so-called health-span. The main cause of this disability is the onset of ageing-related diseases (ARDs), and it is time to seriously address how to prevent or at least postpone the appearance of these debilitating diseases. Ageing in good health would result in a net gain for society in social, economic, and health terms. The purpose of this Special Issue is to expand our knowledge in the fields of ARDs. Its ambition is to publish articles that explore the multiple factors responsible for the etiopathogenesis and pathophysiology of these diseases, with the aim of better prevention or treatment (and a particular focus on the role of inflammatory processes and cellular senescence). Contributions may come from all basic and applied disciplines that research these processes. Naturally, the role of the exposome in determining these diseases may also be analyzed, as well as possible preventive interventions. By disseminating research on these topics, conducted either on humans or models, this Special Issue aims to create interdisciplinary connections, thereby facilitating a comprehensive understanding of ARDs, and hence of their prevention.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
