The intricate interplay between endocrine systems and the aging process has profound implications for health, longevity, and quality of life. As the global population ages, understanding the mechanisms, clinical implications, and therapeutic strategies related to endocrine changes in aging is more critical than ever.
We invite researchers, clinicians, and scholars to contribute original research, reviews, and perspectives for a special issue dedicated to Endocrinology and Aging. This Collection seeks to explore the dynamic role of endocrine systems in aging and age-related diseases, as well as innovative interventions aimed at mitigating endocrine dysfunction in older adults.
Submissions may include, but are not limited to:
- Hormonal changes during aging and their physiological impacts.
- Endocrine dysfunction in age-related conditions such as osteoporosis, sarcopenia, and frailty.
- The role of thyroid, adrenal, and gonadal hormones in the aging process.
- Interactions between metabolic pathways and aging, including insulin resistance and diabetes in older adults.
- Neuroendocrine aging and its relationship to cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases.
- The influence of lifestyle, diet, and physical activity on endocrine health in aging populations.
- Advances in hormone replacement therapies and other interventions targeting endocrine aging.
- Biomarkers of endocrine aging and their clinical applications.
- Mechanistic insights into endocrine signaling pathways and longevity.
