The International Journal of Biochemistry & Cell Biology publishes papers describing original research in all areas of contemporary
biochemistry and cell biology. This includes biochemical, cellular and molecular studies of cells, subcellular processes and signalling
networks. We also encourage inclusion of in vivo studies and integrated approaches to better understand physiological and pathological
processes. In this context, we encourage papers that cover all areas of cell and molecular biology as well as biomedical research.
Submitted original research papers should represent a novel and important contribution to the understanding of any area of biochemistry
and cell biology and provide mechanistic insights into the process.
Submission of descriptive research papers without a clear hypothesis
and elucidation of a mechanism is strongly discouraged and will often result in rejection prior to full peer review. Because of the breadth
of subjects covered by the journal, the aim and significance of every study must be made clear in the Abstract and Discussion.
The
journal also publishes state-of-the-art full-length Reviews that provide comprehensive examination of topical areas in biochemistry,
cell biology and biomedical research, written by leading experts. In addition, the journal publishes five short "In Focus"
Surveys entitled "Molecules in Focus", "Cells in Focus", "Medicine in Focus", "Pathogens in Focus"
and "Signalling Networks in Focus". "Molecules in Focus" articles describe a topical molecule and highlight its potential
industrial and/or pharmaceutical applications. "Cells in Focus" papers describe the structure, origin, differentiation potential,
function, and pathologies associated with individual cell types.
The "Medicine in Focus" series provides information on recent
developments in our understanding of the pathogenesis of a specific disease focussing on the underlying cell and molecular biology and
highlighting any possible therapeutic applications. "Pathogens in Focus" concentrates on a particular virulence factor or function
associated with a chosen pathogen.
The articles in the "Signalling Networks in Focus" series highlight new developments in
a particular signalling pathway, also highlighting any potential therapeutic target.
International Journal of Biochemistry
and Cell Biology Directed Issue "Molecular and Cellular Evolution: a Celebration of the 200th Anniversary of the Birth of Charles
Darwin"
The International Journal of Biochemistry and Cell Biology is planning a special Directed issue of the Journal on
Molecular and Cellular Evolution, to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin. The Directed issue will contain
invited articles from leading international experts that provide perspectives on the molecular basis of the evolution of biochemical
pathways, organelles and cells, the application of computational approaches, and how this expanding evolutionary knowledge is impacting
modern biomedical research. Related submitted research papers will also be considered. All articles will be peer-reviewed according to
the policies of IJBCB.
