Comprehensive coverage of important aspects of gerontology
Aims and Scope
As the ratio of people over sixty-five continues to rise, understanding the basic mechanisms of aging and age-related diseases has become a matter of urgent necessity. 'Gerontology' responds to this need by drawing experimental contributions from diverse medical, biological, behavioural and technological disciplines to provide a primary source of high quality papers covering all aspects of aging in man and animals. Recent research on the clinical problems of aging and the practical applications of laboratory results is also included to support the fundamental goals of extending active life and enhancing its quality. Informative reviews and an open Debate Section for stimulating, speculative articles carry strong reader approval. Clinical papers discuss aetiology, pathogenesis, prevention and treatment of diseases in old age. In particular aspects of cardiology, immunology, and infectious diseases are of interest. Behaviour in old age is considered in a special section. Research papers featuring regeneration in biological systems or regenerative medical approaches are welcome and covered in an extra section. The new editors have also created a section dealing with technological devices for the elderly.
Published online first
All articles are published electronically ahead of print with the definite citation line. Thus, an article will be available online shortly after the author's approval to print.
