Dear Colleagues,

Recent progress in Phytotherapy research is currently associated with the rapid development of network pharmacology and systems biology concepts, which provide the tools both for the understanding of molecular mechanisms and modes of action of plant extracts used in traditional medicinal systems and purified active constituents and for the discoveries of new effective and safe therapeutic agents.

Many components of the neuroendocrine-immune system mediate the effects of various herbal preparations used for preventing and treatment of aging-induced diseases and disorders, such as neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer's disease, etc.), atherosclerosis - thrombosis, infarction, stroke, cardiovascular disease and hypertension,  cancer, degenerative joint disease (osteoarthritis), type 2 diabetes, obesity,  muscle degeneration (sarcopenia), visual loss because of clouding of the lens  (cataracts), low grade chronic systemic inflammation (inflammaging), cell degeneration, cellular senescence, etc. 

However, rational and evidence-based use of selected herbal preparations is required for the effective and safe treatment of various aging-related diseases.

This Special Issue is aimed to highlight recent achievements, findings, and observations in phytotherapy of aging-related disorders, based on network pharmacology and systems biology approach.

We encourage authors to submit the results of clinical and preclinical in vivo and in vitro studies of herbal preparations and purified compounds.
