Abstract

In this special issue we commemorate theoretical biologist Alexey Olovnikov (1936-2022), whose theory of marginotomy has laid the foundation for the new field of biology that studies the molecular structure of telomeres and its role in health, longevity and aging. This issue contains a collection of reviews and research articles that discuss different aspects of telomere and telomerase research, ranging from telomere length dynamics in wild animal populations to problems of telomere maintenance during human space flight.

健康与长寿中的端粒：纪念阿列克谢-奥洛夫尼科夫特刊。

在这期特刊中，我们纪念了理论生物学家阿列克谢-奥洛夫尼科夫（Alexey Olovnikov，1936-2022），他的边切理论为研究端粒分子结构及其在健康、长寿和衰老中的作用的生物学新领域奠定了基础。本期杂志收录的评论和研究文章讨论了端粒和端粒酶研究的不同方面，从野生动物群体的端粒长度动态到人类太空飞行期间的端粒维持问题。

期刊介绍： The journal Biogerontology offers a platform for research which aims primarily at achieving healthy old age accompanied by improved longevity. The focus is on efforts to understand, prevent, cure or minimize age-related impairments. Biogerontology provides a peer-reviewed forum for publishing original research data, new ideas and discussions on modulating the aging process by physical, chemical and biological means, including transgenic and knockout organisms; cell culture systems to develop new approaches and health care products for maintaining or recovering the lost biochemical functions; immunology, autoimmunity and infection in aging; vertebrates, invertebrates, micro-organisms and plants for experimental studies on genetic determinants of aging and longevity; biodemography and theoretical models linking aging and survival kinetics.
