Biomaterials
Biomaterials is an international journal covering the science and clinical application of biomaterials. A biomaterial is now defined as a substance that has been engineered to take a form which, alone or as part of a complex system, is used to direct, by control of interactions with components of living systems, the course of any therapeutic or diagnostic procedure. It is the aim of the journal to provide a peer-reviewed forum for the publication of original papers and authoritative review and opinion papers dealing with the most important issues facing the use of biomaterials in clinical practice. The scope of the journal covers the wide range of physical, biological and chemical sciences that underpin the design of biomaterials and the clinical disciplines in which they are used. These sciences include polymer synthesis and characterization, drug and gene vector design, the biology of the host response, immunology and toxicology and self assembly at the nanoscale. Clinical applications include the therapies of medical technology and regenerative medicine in all clinical disciplines, and diagnostic systems that reply on innovative contrast and sensing agents. The journal is relevant to areas such as cancer diagnosis and therapy, implantable devices, drug delivery systems, gene vectors, bionanotechnology and tissue engineering.Click here for New Editorial Instructions.- ISSN: 0142-9612
Cardiovascular Revascularization Medicine
including Molecular Interventions Cardiovascular Revascularization Medicine (CRM) is an international, English-language, multidisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal that publishes original laboratory and clinical investigations related to revascularization therapies in cardiovascular medicine. CRM publishes 12 regular print issues and a supplemental issue each year.The journal is indexed on Index Medicus and MEDLINE®/PubMed®.The journal's location in Washington, DC, gives it an advantage in reporting on regulatory issues as they pertain to interventional cardiology and structural heart disease. The journal is read by cardiologists, interventional cardiologists, structural heart interventionalists, vascular physicians, healthcare regulators, industry, fellows in training, and innovators around the globe.CRM is also the official journal of the Cardiovascular Research Technologies (CRT) meeting, a premier event that brings together about 3,000 interventional cardiologists annually to discuss cutting-edge research and innovations. Attendees are encouraged to submit papers based on abstracts, interesting cases, late-breaking trials, and innovations presented at the meeting that impact interventional cardiologists' practice. The journal structures its content to reflect topics based on each track of the CRT meeting: Complex Coronary, Valve and Structural, Endovascular, Imaging and Physiology, Atherosclerosis, Cardiogenic Shock, Technology and Innovation, Regulatory and Healthcare Policy, and Innovations.CRM publishes articles related to preclinical and clinical work, including pharmacological interventions, and restenosis management; and treatment, including experiments conducted in human subjects, laboratory animals, and in vitro. Specific areas of interest include percutaneous angioplasty in coronary and peripheral arteries, intervention in structural heart disease, cardiovascular surgery, congenital heart disease, coronary heart disease, genetics and translational science, health services and outcomes research, invasive imaging, regulatory and health policy, technology and innovation, and vascular medicine.The journal's nearest competitors are JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions, Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions, and EuroIntervention.CRM will consider all articles describing clinical trials and translational research (i.e., those that unite the clinic with the laboratory). The journal publishes original articles, research letters, reviews, editorials, and special features. Original articles that address any aspect of cardiovascular revascularization or structural intervention are invited. Letters to the editor, trial design papers, and interesting images are encouraged. The journal's peer-review process is single-blind.- ISSN: 1553-8389

It also publishes policy statements, opinion pieces, book reviews, conference proceedings and profession related information such as pharmacovigilance reports providing an information source for not only the Herbal Practitioner but any health professional with an interest in phytotherapy.Potenti... the premier journal in its field, the journal welcomes papers that stimulate research and interest in herbal medicine education and practice that disseminate information about its clinical tradition, best practices, skills and knowledge, e.g. in the areas ofTraditional medicine, ethnobotany and western herbal medicineHerbal therapeutics, phytomedicine and herbal preparationsMedicina... plants in healthcare, clinical trials and pilot studiesBiological and pharmacological effects of plant extractsMedicinal plants and their anti-inflammatory, anti-cholesterol, hypotensive, antispasmodic, anti-diabetic, anticancer, antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal activityIn cases where a submission involves a protected species—such as plants, fungi, or microorganisms that are covered by CITES, listed on the IUCN Red List, or identified as at risk of extinction or in serious decline—it is essential to provide a comprehensive justification. This justification must either confirm ethical sourcing practices (like the use of cultivated plants) or outline efforts to seek alternative sources to replace the protected species.Please note that we do not publish papers where the focus and primary experimental method involve the use of animals. This includes in vivo and/or ex vivo studies and/or in vitro studies based on cell lines harvested from animals.Furthermore, we do not publish papers which contain references or citations related to animal studies. If your paper includes references or citations on animal studies please withdraw it, as such papers will not be considered for peer review or publication.Consider... the standards upheld by the Journal of Herbal Medicine for publication integrity and safety, it is imperative to ensure that the solvents used in experimental studies accurately reflect true clinical practice and application of herbal medicine. Solvents such as methanol, hexane, petroleum, and ether can be toxic to humans. Therefore, submissions based on studies that use these solvents are unacceptable. Please note that referencing studies utilising these solvents is also against our clinical and publication standards.- ISSN: 2210-8033
Neuropeptides
The aim of Neuropeptides is the rapid publication of original research and review articles, dealing with the structure, distribution, actions and functions of peptides in the central and peripheral nervous systems. The explosion of research activity in this field has led to the identification of numerous naturally occurring endogenous peptides which act as neurotransmitters, neuromodulators, or trophic factors, to mediate nervous system functions. Increasing numbers of non-peptide ligands of neuropeptide receptors have been developed, which act as agonists or antagonists in peptidergic systems.The journal provides a unique opportunity of integrating the many disciplines involved in all neuropeptide research. The journal publishes articles on all aspects of the neuropeptide field, with particular emphasis on gene regulation of peptide expression, peptide receptor subtypes, transgenic and knockout mice with mutations in genes for neuropeptides and peptide receptors, neuroanatomy, physiology, behaviour, neurotrophic factors, preclinical drug evaluation, clinical studies, and clinical trials.Original papers predominate. Manuscripts may be of any length, but must be complete studies; preliminary communications are not accepted. Review articles and hypothesis papers are welcomed, and will be evaluated in the same way as experimental papers. Authors intending to submit a review are advised to communicate their intentions to the Editor, to avoid possible duplication.- ISSN: 0143-4179
