    Best Practice & Research Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism is a topical serial publication integrating the results from the latest original research into practical, evidence-based review articles that seek to address the key clinical issues of diagnosis, treatment and patient management.Each issue follows a problem-orientated approach which focuses on the key questions to be addressed, clearly defining what is known and highlighting topics for future research. Management is described in practical terms so that it can be applied to the individual patient. The series is aimed at the physician either in practice or in training.In practical paperback format, each 200 page issue of Best Practice & Research Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism provides a comprehensive review of clinical practice and thinking within one specific area of endocrinology and metabolism.Each issue, written by an international team of contributors and guest edited by a renowned expert, form part of a continuous update of current clinical practice.• Attractive format and two-colour text layout • Six issues published annually • Highlighting the latest 'best practice' and 'clinical evidence' • Topic-based, problem-orientated approach • Recommendations on diagnosis, treatment and patient managementThe objective of the series is to provide the physician with the most up-to-date source of information in the field.
  • Acta Histochemica

    • ISSN: 0065-1281
    Research and Methods in Cell and Tissue BiologyActa Histochemica is a classic scientific journal established in 1954 currently focused on basic research and methodological innovations in cell and tissue biology. The aim of the journal is to promote the peer-reviewed publication of original articles and short communications reporting novel results and experimental approaches in the field, as well as comprehensive reviews, letters to the editor and meeting reports, serving as an open forum for the cell and histochemical research community. Manuscripts analysing the mechanisms of functional regulation of living systems at a cell/tissue level, in physiological or pathological conditions, or reporting new techniques and methodological approaches to quantify/visualize cellular activities are particularly welcomed.

GeneticsInnovative AI methodologies for biological data, biomolecular modelling and machine learning modelsGiven their inherent uncertainty, protein modeling and molecular docking studies should be thoroughly validated. In the absence of experimental results for validation, the use of molecular dynamics simulations along with detailed free energy calculations, for example, should be used as complementary techniques to support the major conclusions. Submissions of premature modeling exercises without additional biological insights will not be considered.
