Gerontology
International Journal of Experimental, Clinical, Behavioral and Technological Gerontology
A Comprehensive Approach to Aging Science
Aging and age-related diseases are increasingly urgent global challenges as the proportion of older adults continues to rise. Gerontology, the oldest journal in the field, is uniquely positioned to provide a truly interdisciplinary perspective. Covering both fundamental and applied research, it aims to advance our understanding of aging and promote strategies that enhance longevity and quality of life.
The journal encompasses multiple specialized sections:
- Clinical Gerontology – Investigates the etiology, pathogenesis, prevention, and treatment of age-related diseases, focusing on aging processes rather than geriatric care.
- Experimental Gerontology – Features cutting-edge research in the biology of aging, including molecular, cellular, and physiological mechanisms.
- Behavioral Science – Explores cognitive, psychological, and social aspects of aging, along with developmental processes across the lifespan.
- Regenerative Science – Examines the fundamental and applied aspects of tissue regeneration, stem cell therapy, and regenerative medicine in aging.
- Technological Innovations – Showcases advancements in assistive technology, digital health, and biomedical engineering designed to support aging populations.
By bridging disciplines and fostering collaboration, Gerontology provides a premier platform for researchers, clinicians, and policymakers dedicated to addressing the complexities of aging in both humans and animal models.
