Scope | Pathobiology of Aging and Age-related Diseases (PBA) is a new journal on the pathological progression and intervention of aging and age-related disease phenotypes in mammalian species, providing an opportunity to communicate pathology data as a primary scientific focus of aging. Data describing the pathological features of aging and the diseases generally associated with aging have unique challenges. By design, pathology covers a wide range of disciplines, and has an underlying focus of addressing mechanisms using a pathological basis to define the progression of age-associated lesions. These types of data are by nature highly descriptive and informative. The emerging field of aging research has created a need for dissemination of this type of information, especially in mammalian model organisms and humans. PBA is interdisciplinary in nature and covers all aspects of pathology of aging related to disease phenotypes including cancer, cardiovascular disease, neurological disorders, metabolic dysfunction, renal and gastrointestinal disorders, endocrine dysfunction, musculoskeletal conditions and skin disorders. The underlying theme is based on the sound scientific principles of the pathogenesis of aging and age-related diseases as well as intervention data with resolution of pathological endpoints. The pursuit of investigations into the science of aging is designed to understand why cellular processes begin to fail with advancing age, and what molecular events contribute to this failure. Pathology is the study of the events associated with the gross, histological, and cellular conditions considered abnormal. In this regard, the pathobiology of aging and age-related diseases is an entity that fits nicely under the pathology umbrella, with the integration of physiology and anatomy as key components to a comprehensive assessment of abnormal versus normal. | |
