The intricate interplay between endocrine systems and the aging process has profound implications for health, longevity, and quality of life. As the global population ages, understanding the mechanisms, clinical implications, and therapeutic strategies related to endocrine changes in aging is more critical than ever.

We invite researchers, clinicians, and scholars to contribute original research, reviews, and perspectives for a special issue dedicated to Endocrinology and Aging. This Collection seeks to explore the dynamic role of endocrine systems in aging and age-related diseases, as well as innovative interventions aimed at mitigating endocrine dysfunction in older adults.

Topics of Interest:

Submissions may include, but are not limited to:

• Hormonal changes during aging and their physiological impacts.

• Endocrine dysfunction in age-related conditions such as osteoporosis, sarcopenia, and frailty.

• The role of thyroid, adrenal, and gonadal hormones in the aging process.

• Interactions between metabolic pathways and aging, including insulin resistance and diabetes in older adults.

• Neuroendocrine aging and its relationship to cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases.

• The influence of lifestyle, diet, and physical activity on endocrine health in aging populations.

• Advances in hormone replacement therapies and other interventions targeting endocrine aging.

• Biomarkers of endocrine aging and their clinical applications.

• Mechanistic insights into endocrine signaling pathways and longevity.

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3, Good Health and Well-Being.

All submissions in this collection undergo the journal’s standard peer review process. Similarly, all manuscripts authored by a Guest Editor(s) will be handled by the Editor-in-Chief. As an open access publication, this journal levies an article processing fee (details here). We recognize that many key stakeholders may not have access to such resources and are committed to supporting participation in this issue wherever resources are a barrier. For more information about what support may be available, please visit OA funding and support, or email OAfundingpolicy@springernature.com or the Editor-in-Chief.

We are pleased to announce a call for papers for a Collection focusing on “Cardiorelated aspects in thyroid disorders”. The intricate relationship between thyroid function and cardiovascular health remains a critical area of investigation, with profound implications for clinical practice and patient outcomes.

Thyroid dysfunction, including hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and subclinical thyroid disorders, significantly influences cardiovascular physiology, contributing to arrhythmias, hypertension, atherosclerosis, and heart failure. Emerging research highlights the role of thyroid hormones in vascular biology, myocardial contractility, and metabolic regulation, emphasizing the need for a deeper understanding of these interactions.

We invite original research, review articles, and clinical case reports that explore:

- The impact of thyroid dysfunction on cardiac structure and function;

- Thyroid hormone signaling in vascular and myocardial remodeling;

- Risk stratification and management of cardiovascular complications in thyroid disorders;

- Novel therapeutic targets bridging endocrinology and cardiology;

- The role of biomarkers and imaging in assessing cardiovascular risk in thyroid disease.
