A solid,scientific base for the understanding of the phenomenon of aging

Biogerontology has developed A spectrum of new and innovative strategies and approaches are being increasingly applied to modulate the process of aging at the level of cells, tissues, organs and organisms. Biogerontology represents this step in research which aims primarily at achieving healthy old age accompanied by improved longevity. The focus is on attempts to understand, prevent, cure or minimize age-related impairments.

The science of healthy old age requires its own platform to bring forward new ideas, and to encourage the scientific publication of innovative and bold experimental manipulations in this regard. Biogerontology therefore provides a peer-reviewed forum for publishing original research data, new ideas and discussions on varied topics related to aging.

• Includes original research reports, reviews, hypotheses, new methods and interviews, plus special issues on topics relating to aging, health and longevity
