Call for papers: enter the Cureus longevity medicine contest and submit your best work on living longer, healthier lives

Human longevity is one of medicine's oldest ambitions. Cureus invites you to put the field under the microscope, from senolytics and NAD+ to new cardiac and cancer procedures, and win Preferred Editing services for your future work. Submit by 16 October 2026.

Human longevity, living longer and living better, is one of medicine's oldest ambitions. Today that search runs on two tracks. One is the headline-grabbing frontier of senolytics, peptides, NAD+, and biohacking. The other is the quieter, hard-won advances of everyday medicine, a new cardiac surgery technique, a better cancer therapy, sharper preventive care, that add years to patients' lives. Longevity medicine has never been more visible or more commercialized, and the gap between promise and proof has never been more important to examine.

The Cureus Journal of Medical Science invites you to put longevity medicine under the microscope, and win Preferred Editing services for your future work.

How to take part

Submit an original research paper, review article, case report, or technical report on any facet of longevity, the science and practice of helping people live longer, healthier lives. That includes:

  • Established clinical medicine that extends lifespan or healthspan, such as novel surgical techniques, cardiology, oncology, transplantation, and preventive or chronic-disease care
  • The emerging anti-aging frontier, including senolytics, regenerative medicine, biological aging biomarkers, biohacking, and peptides marketed for anti-aging
  • The efficacy, safety, and patient-counseling questions these interventions raise

Please do include the keyword "Longevity Medicine" in your submission, and do not submit your article as a publishing competition entry.
