BIOGERONTOLOGY

生物老年学在对衰老现象的认识方面已经形成了坚实的科学基础。在细胞、组织、器官和生物体水平上，越来越多地采用一系列新的和创新的战略和方法来调节衰老过程。生物老年学代表了研究的这一步，其主要目标是实现健康的老年生活和延长寿命。重点是试图了解如何预防、治疗或最小化与年龄相关的损害。健康老年科学需要有自己的平台来提出新的理念，并鼓励在这方面进行创新大胆的科学出版实验操作。因此，生物老年学为发表原始研究数据提供了一个同行评议的论坛，新的想法和讨论:通过物理、化学和生物手段调节衰老过程，包括转基因和敲除生物体;细胞培养系统，开发新的方法和保健产品，以维持和/或恢复失去的生化功能;免疫、自身免疫与老年感染脊椎动物、无脊椎动物、微生物和植物，用于老化和长寿的遗传决定因素的实验研究;生物人口学和老化与存活动力学的理论模型。生物老年学将发表:原始研究报告;回顾假设、新方法和访谈;与老化、健康和长寿有关的专题。

Biogerontology has now developed a solid scientific base with respect to the understanding of the phenomenon of aging. 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 about: Modulating the aging process by physical chemical and biological means including transgenic and knockout organisms; Cell culture systems to develop new approaches and health care products for maintaining and/or recovering the lost biochemical functions; Immunology autoimmunity and infection in aging; Vertebrates invertebrates micro-organisms and plants for experimental studies on genetic determinants of aging and longevity; Biodemography and theoretical models linking aging and survival kinetics. Biogerontology will publish: original research reports; reviews hypotheses new methods and interviews; special issues on specific topics relating to aging health and longevity.
