Experimental Parasitology
The main focus of Experimental Parasitology is experimental approaches to investigating different aspects of parasitology, including, but not limited to, those encompassed by molecular tools, cell biology, and immunology. The journal predominantly publishes Original Research Papers in which experimentation is used to investigate the physiological, metabolic, immunological, biochemical, nutritional, and chemotherapeutic aspects of parasites and host-parasite relationships. In addition, the journal welcomes Method Papers that describe new approaches to such investigations and Review Articles (short reviews, full reviews, and systematic reviews) that provide critical evaluation of published articles on a theme within the scope of the journal. Furthermore, the journal is open to publishing special issues or meeting reports within the themes of the journal. Please contact the editors for further information. See our Guide for Authors for further information on the different paper types accepted by Experimental Parasitology.

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.
