It offers the quality, visibility, and impact of Matrix Biology, combined with the convenience and reach of timely on-line access for the readers in the matrix biology community.
Matrix Biology Plus has a broader scope than Matrix Biology, including computational biology, biomaterials, biophysics, and bioengineering research in addition to or in combination with biology and medicine.
Matrix Biology Plus welcomes:
Comparative and correlative studies focused on extracellular matrix and cell-matrix interactions
New methodologies for studying extracellular matrix and cell-matrix interactions in health and disease
New structural/biochemical and biophysical, biological or bioengineering models and tools (e.g., detailed description of novel transgenic mice, novel disease models, novel biomaterials, novel bioengineering devices and strategies focused on the matrix)
New computational tools for matrix modeling and newly established databases and repositories focused on the matrix and its components
Omics datasets that are novel, experimentally derived, descriptive, and comprehensive (e.g., proteomics, transcriptomics, genomics, metabolomics, and interactomics datasets). However, simple analysis of published datasets or extraction from public-access databases where no further substantive experimental or computational analysis is undertaken is unlikely to be deemed appropriate.
Genomics/transcriptomic studies
Matrix-targeted therapeutics (chemistry, engineering, fabrication/manufacture, target validation, drug delivery, nanomedicine) and matrix-derived therapeutics
Clinical and population-based studies of matrix components and disease linked mutations
To be considered for publication, submitted articles must report novel findings that provide a substantive advance in the field of matrix biology without a strict requirement for novel biological mechanisms. High-quality, descriptive analyses are encouraged.
