Aging Cell publishes novel and exciting science which addresses fundamental issues in the biology of aging. All areas of aging biology are welcome in the journal and the experimental approaches used can be wide-ranging. With the rapid developments in genomic sequencing and analysis, and availability of new technologies to analyse functional genomics and proteomics, the combined powers of genetics, biochemistry and cell biology are leading to the very rapid production of new information. Aging Cell welcomes the results of these programmes.
Aging Cell covers:
- Genes and functional genomics
- Cell proliferation, senescence and death
- Signaling and gene expression
- Stem cells and aging
- Cell stress and damage
- Integrative physiology
- Biodemography and comparative studies
- New theories of aging and longevity
No submission fee or page charges, plus free color for authors of Hot Topic reviews, Review and Mini-Review articles
TopNews and Announcements
Winner of First Annual "Best Paper" Competition
The Editors of Aging Cell wish to congratulate the winners of the First Annual "Best Paper" Competition. All members of the Editorial Board were asked to nominate papers, from Volume 7, that were of particular merit or importance.
The winning paper this year was:

Rozalyn M. Anderson, Jamie L. Barger, Michael G. Edwards, Kristina H. Braun, Clare E. O'Connor, Tomas A. Prolla, Richard Weindruch
NIH-funded authors and Aging Cell
From April 2008, the NIH is mandating grantees to deposit their peer-reviewed author manuscripts in PubMed Central, to be made publicly available within 12 months of publication. The NIH mandate applies to all articles based on research that has been wholly or partially funded by the NIH and that are accepted for publication on or after April 7, 2008. In order to help authors comply with the NIH mandate, for papers accepted for publication in Aging Cell after this date Wiley-Blackwell will post the accepted manuscript (incorporating all amendments made during peer review, but prior to the publisher's copy-editing and typesetting) of articles by NIH grant-holders to PubMed Central at the point of acceptance by the journal. This version will then be made publicly available in PubMed Central 12 months after publication. Following the deposit Wiley-Blackwell authors will receive further communications from the NIH with respect to the submission. For further information, see here.
If authors wish to make their final published article openly accessible and without a 12 month embargo, they can choose to publish via the OnlineOpen service.
Wellcome and HHMI grantees can find out further information here.
