Life Sciences
Life Sciences is an international journal publishing articles that emphasize the molecular, cellular, and functional basis of therapy. The journal emphasizes the understanding of mechanism that is relevant to all aspects of human disease and translation to patients. All articles are rigorously reviewed.The Journal favors publication of full-length papers where modern scientific technologies are used to explain molecular, cellular and physiological mechanisms. Articles that merely report observations are rarely accepted. Recommendations from the Declaration of Helsinki or NIH guidelines for care and use of laboratory animals must be adhered to. Articles should be written at a level accessible to readers who are non-specialists in the topic of the article themselves, but who are interested in the research. The Journal welcomes reviews on topics of wide interest to investigators in the life sciences. We particularly encourage submission of brief, focused reviews containing high-quality artwork and require the use of mechanistic summary diagrams.Manuscripts should present novel preclinical findings addressing questions of biological significance to human disease. Studies that fail to do so may be rejected without review. Quantitative conclusions must be based on truly quantitative methods. Life Sciences does not publish work on the actions of biological extracts of unknown chemical composition. Compounds studied must be of known chemical structure and concentration. The study must be reproducible; materials used must be available to other researchers so they can repeat the experiment. Clinical studies may be considered if they expand understanding of mechanism, but the journal does not encourage clinical trial reports.Four common reasons for rejection include: out of scope (the manuscript does not conform to the goal of identification of mechanisms related to therapy for human disease); too preliminary (manuscript is based on a limited amount of experimental data diminishing significance); lack of novelty (manuscript is well done but does not address a significant question); unidentified structure (actions of biological extracts of unknown chemical composition).

Matrix Biology
Affiliated with the American Society for Matrix Biology and the International Society for Matrix BiologyMatrix Biology is the leading journal devoted to publishing the latest research on molecular components of the extracellular matrix and the biological impact of cellular interactions with extracellular matrices. We welcome articles in any area of extracellular matrix research that provide new mechanistic and functional insights, have significant potential impact for the field, or which challenge longstanding biological paradigms. Matrix Biology publishes original studies in, but not limited to, cell and molecular biology, developmental biology, genetics, structural biology, chronobiology, infection and immunity, immunology, virology, signaling, disease mechanisms, and therapeutics related to the extracellular matrix and its interactions with cells. Papers considered for peer review must document substantial advances for the field of extracellular matrix and/or cell-matrix interactions. In addition to original research articles, Matrix Biology welcomes highly timely, impactful reviews. Please view our Guide for Authors for more information. Reasons to submit your next article to Matrix Biology:The premier journal in the field of extracellular matrix biology with impact across many fields of biology and medicine.Published articles have a universal appeal, value, and utility to the research community worldwide.An international editorial board of key researchers in the field.Flexible publication: you can choose to publish open access.Your paper your way: no unnecessary formatting requests.No submission fees.No color page charges for online version.Matrix Biology Plus, a companion title to Matrix Biology, is an online-only, open access journal that welcomes papers reporting novel advances in the field of matrix biology and related research tools and resources without a strict requirement for novel biological mechanisms.Matrix Biology was established in 1980 as Collagen and Related Research, an international scientific journal for publication of research on the extracellular matrix. The journal became Matrix (1989-1993) and then Matrix Biology in 1994 to reflect the expansion of knowledge and interest in the diversity of extracellular matrix-associated molecules and their importance in development, health, and disease.

Human Immunology
Human Immunology publishes full-length, original, hypothesis-driven basic and clinical research articles as well as brief communications, reviews and editorials covering immunogenetics, transplantation immunology, autoimmunity, and immunity to infectious diseases in humans. It also publishes short population reports, which are tied to the allelefrequencies.ne... database, describing allele frequencies of HLA and KIR.The journal's scope includes understanding the genetic and functional mechanisms that distinguish human individuals in their immune responses to allografts, pregnancy, infections or vaccines as well as the immune responses that lead to autoimmunity, allergy or drug hypersensitivity. It also includes examining the distribution of the genes controlling these responses in populations.Research areas include: • Studies of the genetics, genomics, polymorphism, evolution, and population distribution of immune-related genes • Studies of the expression, structure and function of the products of immune-related genes • Immunogenetics of susceptibility to infectious and autoimmune disease, and allergy • The role of the immune-related genes in hematopoietic stem cell, solid organ, and vascularized composite allograft transplant • Histocompatibility studies including alloantibodies, epitope definition, and T cell alloreactivity • Studies of immunologic tolerance and pregnancy • T cell, B cell, NK and regulatory cell functions, particularly related to subjects within the journal's scope • Pharmacogenomics and vaccine development in the context of immune-related genesHuman Immunology considers immune-related genes to include those encoding classical and non-classical HLA, KIR, MIC, minor histocompatibility antigens (mHAg), immunoglobulins, TCR, BCR, proteins involved in antigen processing and presentation, complement, Fc receptors, chemokines and cytokines. Other immune-related genes may be considered.Human Immunology is also interested in bioinformatics of immune-related genes and organizational topics impacting laboratory processes, organ allocation, clinical strategies, and registries related to autoimmunity and transplantation.Orig... papers with new data will be given preference over uninvited reviews and meta-analyses.Origin... papers with new data will be given preference over uninvited reviews and meta-analyses.
