Call for Papers: Commemorative Collection Honoring Dr. Judith Campisi

Aging-US invites submissions for a Special Collection dedicated to the theme of cellular senescence, spanning its basic mechanisms, physiological and pathological functions, and clinical applications.

This collection is published in memory of Dr. Judith Campisi, a pioneering force in the field of cellular senescence whose groundbreaking work shaped the understanding of senescence in aging, cancer, and tissue homeostasis. Her legacy continues to inspire generations of scientists working to decode the complex biology of senescent cells and their impact on health and disease.

We welcome original research articles, reviews, and perspectives on topics including:

• Fundamental mechanisms of senescence induction and maintenance
• Regulation and context-specific roles of the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP)
• Beneficial and detrimental effects of senescent cells in vivo
• Senescence in development, aging, regeneration, and age-related diseases
• Biomarkers, imaging, and tools for senescence detection and quantification
• Therapeutic targeting of senescent cells: senolytics, senomorphics, and clinical translation

This Special Collection is guest edited by Dr. Han Li and Irina Conboy, both internationally recognized leaders in the study of senescence and aging.
