ABOUT Dr. Mikhail (Misha) Blagosklonny:

It is with great sadness and heavy heart that we announce the recent passing of Dr. Mikhail (Misha) V. Blagosklonny, our beloved Editor-in-Chief. Misha succumbed to metastatic lung cancer after a courageous battle.

Dr. Blagosklonny will be remembered as a brilliant and extraordinary scientist who dedicated his life to science. He was a visionary thinker, who made highly original contributions to cancer and aging research that were often ahead of their time.

Dr. Blagosklonny was born into a family of scientists. His mother, Professor of Medicine Yanina V. Blagosklonnaya, specialized in endocrinology and was a talented teacher, mentoring several generations of medical students. His father, Professor Vladimir M. Dilman, was a brilliant gerontologist, endocrinologist and oncologist, known for being a very charismatic person. He was the first person to encourage Misha to think about nature, aging, and philosophy.

Misha was a theorist by nature. While in school, he was deeply interested in physics and dreamed of becoming a theoretical physicist. Eventually, he chose biology, driven to study aging and age-related diseases, including cancer. He started as an experimentalist, but over the years, he became a theoretical biologist. In a way, his dream came true.

ABOUT AGING-US.ORG

Aging-US.org features weekly articles describing new and trending research papers published by Aging (Aging-US)—monthly, traditional, peer-reviewed journal with open access, covering all areas of research on aging, including age-related diseases, such as cancer.

The mission of the journal is to serve as a platform for high-quality research that uncovers the cellular, molecular, and systemic processes underlying aging, and translates these insights into strategies to extend healthspan and delay the onset of chronic disease.

We aim to promote: 1) The development of preventative strategies that delay or mitigate age-associated pathologies by modulating key aging mechanisms, 2) the treatment of age-related diseases through interventions that target the aging process itself, and 3) the validation of anti-aging therapies by demonstrating their impact on functional decline and disease onset.

Impact Journals, the publisher of Aging (Aging-US), meets the standards of the Wellcome Trust Publisher Requirements and was included in the Wellcome Trust List of Compliant Publishers. Read about our rigorous Scientific Integrity Process.
