The journal addresses such issues as cardiovascular aging, cell immortalization and senescence, cloning/ESCs, DNA damage/repair, growth factors, immunology, invertebrate lifespan, neurodegeneration, tissue engineering, public policy, gene targeting, gene therapy, and genomics. Several authors have noted that Rejuvenation Research has an unusual focus, calling it from "a heroic effort to jump-start research on postponing or slowing human aging" to "somewhat fringy" or "on the fringe of gerontology". Rejuvenation Research is abstracted and indexed in: According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2010 impact factor of 4.225.
