The journal 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 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. 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.Matrix Biology, has a companion title, Matrix Biology Plus. Matrix Biology Plus 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.

  • Nutrition

    • ISSN: 0899-9007
    The International Journal of Applied and Basic Nutritional SciencesFounded by Michael M. Meguid in the early 1980's, Nutrition presents advances in nutrition research and science, informs its readers on new and advancing technologies and data in clinical nutrition practice, encourages the application of outcomes research and meta-analyses to problems in patient-related nutrition; and seeks to help clarify and set the research, policy and practice agenda for nutrition science to enhance human well-being in the years ahead. Papers on nutrition-related plant or animal sciences are unlikely to be considered as they are outside the main focus of the Journal.

  • Metabolic Engineering

    • ISSN: 1096-7176
    An official journal of the International Metabolic Engineering Society Metabolic Engineering (MBE) is devoted to the publication of original research papers on the directed modulation of metabolic pathways for metabolite over production or the improvement of cellular properties. Papers describing native pathway engineering and synthesis of heterologous pathways for converting microorganisms into microbial cell factories are also welcome.Experimental... computational, and modelling approaches for the elucidation of metabolic pathways and their manipulation by genetic, media, or other environmental means are presented. Efficient probing of metabolic pathways requires the application of appropriate methods from molecular biology and biochemistry, along with modeling and data analysis techniques from engineering. MBE provides a forum for communicating such interdisciplinary research, as well as relevant results in the constituent areas of biochemistry, molecular biology, applied microbiology, cellular physiology, cellular nutrition in health and disease, and biochemical engineering.Types of papers: Original Research Papers, Review Papers.Authors are also welcome to submit to MBE's companion title, Metabolic Engineering Communications, which publishes shorter articles and those describing key elements of larger metabolic engineering efforts.

  • Phytochemistry

    • ISSN: 0031-9422
    Phytochemistry is a leading international journal publishing studies of plant and plant related organisms (eg. epiphytic/symbiotic micro-organisms), marine organisms, chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology and genetics, structure and bioactivities of phytochemicals, including '-omics', bioinformatics/compu... biology approaches and human related biotransformation of natural specialised metabolites and chemical ecology.Phytochemist... is a primary source for papers dealing with phytochemicals, especially reports concerning their biosynthesis, regulation, and biological properties both in planta and as bioactive principles. Articles are published online as soon as possible as Articles-in-Press and in 12 volumes per year. Occasional topic-focused special issues are published composed of papers from invited authors.Article typesFull papers are original research papers reporting new discoveries that lead to a deeper understanding of any aspect of plants covered by the journal. Full papers are invited in the following sections, but these are not exclusive.Chemistry and Bioactive Products contains papers on structural elucidation of previously undescribed specialised metabolites, including studies that elucidate their role and mode of action in pharmacological, medical or therapeutic use, plausible biosynthetic pathways. Studies of the biological activity of known compounds will only be considered when they add significant insight to the way in which the biological action of the metabolites is manifest.Molecular Genetics and Genomics contains papers which demonstrate novelty and/or biological significance in relation to all aspects of gene structure and expression, and their role in plant function, regulation, comparative genomics, and reconstitution of biochemical pathways. This section may also contain studies of genetically modified plants that have been analysed for changes in their profiles of phytochemical production. Manuscripts presenting solely computational studies of gene functions will only be considered when they add substantive evidence of the focal gene functions and/or their role in planta.Protein Biochemistry and Proteomics contains reports on proteins from plants and plant related organisms, including their purification directly from the organism or as a result of heterologous expression. This section includes studies of the macromolecular structure of proteins, protein function, enzyme mechanism, and proteomics, including in relation to changed genetics, environment or metabolism.Metabolis... and Metabolomics contains papers reporting new discoveries in all aspects of plant metabolism, both primary (general) and specialised (secondary). Contributions are encouraged that report the experimental elucidation of metabolic pathways, metabolic regulation, or the biosynthesis and roles of macromolecules. Reports improving our understanding of how phytochemicals act in planta are particularly welcomed, as are studies of transgenic organisms or of metabolic variation.Reviews are an authoritative and timely overview in a defined area and are intended to catch the interest of the general reader. A Review is a critical analysis of the current state of knowledge, pointing out strengths and weaknesses, weighing the significance of the studies conducted, how these fit into the more general subject area, and what are the key areas for further work. Authors should consult the Editor-in-Chief before preparing such articles.Molecules of Interest are short, focused reviews (3-5 printed pages) of individual compounds or macromolecules that are currently attracting extremely significant applied, commercial or biological interest. Authors should consult the Editor-in-Chief before preparing such articles.Viewpoints are articles that advance new ideas and conclusions concerning any area of plant biology and phytochemistry pertinent to the journal. Examples include the re-analysis of data using a new mathematical model, the reassessment of a pathway, or a new hypothesis to explain existing data. Authors should consult the Editor-in-Chief before preparing such articles. Examples include nomenclature issues, ways of expressing data, suggestions for standardising experimental procedures or any other topic that should stimulate debate.Phytochemistr... is an official journal of The Phytochemical Society of Europe (PSE), The Phytochemical Society of North America (PSNA), and The Phytochemical Society of Asia (PSA). Society announcements are published at the discretion of the Publisher.
