Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Aging is a complex biological process underlined by the dysfunction of critical cellular pathways and metabolisms and characterized by an increased risk of developing diseases. Since the older population is rapidly growing, research on new strategies to promote healthy aging is becoming increasingly essential.
The marine environment represents a great source of natural products. The wide and unique chemical diversity of marine molecules results in a variety of mechanisms of action, many of which could target the aging pathways.
This Special Issue will be focused on the potential of marine natural products to address the aging process at different levels and in different models. Suitable topics may include interactions between marine molecules and the determinants of aging, effects of marine molecules in delaying the aging progression and extending healthspan/lifespan, as well as candidate drugs to treat age-related diseases. Studies describing molecules involved in the longevity of long-living marine species are also welcome.

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. Marine Drugs is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.
