Announcements

  • Nature Aging's editors have put together a list of conferences on aging and aging-related diseases in 2023-24. We look forward to meeting you at some of these conferences!

  • Cancer and aging collection

    As part of the Cancer and aging cross-journal Collection, Nature Aging invites original research that explicitly explores the role of aging in cancer and vice versa, from the bench to the bedside.

    Open for submissions
  • Issue cover featuring an artistic depicting of a human brain with different parts in the share of jigsaw puzzle pieces

    Nature Aging published a special issue on the transforming landscape of dementia research. This Focus issue brings together a selection of Reviews, Perspectives and Comments on the most recent advances in our understanding of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, as well as the challenges in diagnosis, prevention and treatment of these diseases.

Nature Aging is a Transformative Journal; authors can publish using the traditional publishing route OR via immediate gold Open Access.

Our Open Access option complies with funder and institutional requirements.

    • Xu and colleagues used partial OSKM reprogramming in aged mice to drive cell-type proportions of the subventricular zone to more youthful levels, which equates to qualified rejuvenation of a neurogenic niche that is defined, in part, by restoration of neuroblast levels.

    • Intensive blood pressure control has been suggested to reduce the risk of adverse cardiovascular events. However, the effect of intensive blood pressure control on cardiac conduction system disease has not been clarified. Our study in older patients with hypertension identified no effect of intensive blood pressure control on cardiac conduction system diseases.

      Research Briefing
    • After discovering the sensitivity of the adrenal zona reticularis region to aging, we found that low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) deficiency hampers both cholesterol uptake and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) production. This finding reveals the cellular basis for age-related adrenal insufficiency and provides insights for the development of interventions to delay endocrine and systemic aging.

      Research Briefing
    • Epidemiological studies reveal a correlation between hearing loss and the development and progression of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), but the underlying causal mechanisms remain unclear. A study now provides experimental evidence that hearing loss can promote AD via the growth differentiation factor 1 (GDF1) pathway, which may aid in developing potential AD therapeutic strategies.
