Announcement: Since January 2021 the European Journal of Cell Biology became an open access journal. Authors who publish in European Journal of Cell Biology will be able to make their work immediately, permanently, and freely accessible.European Journal of Cell Biology authors will pay an article publishing charge (APC), have a choice of license options, and retain copyright to their published work. The APC will be requested after peer review and acceptance. The APC payment will be required for all accepted articles submitted after the 30th of September 2020. The European Journal of Cell Biology (EJCB) welcomes articles that include original long- and short-format studies and reviews covering multi-disciplinary approaches to cell biology in models as diverse as life itself. With emphasis in quality and reproducibility, the Journal also welcomes submissions on transversal and technical advances that push the edge of knowledge forward. The fundamental aim of EJCB is to serve its audience as a platform to illuminate and communicate the inner works of cells as the basic unit of life in its many shapes and forms.Cell biology has become a multidisciplinary science driven to understand the basic principles of cellular behavior from single molecules to whole tissues and organisms. Within this scope, EJCB includes studies in the following areas and beyond:Cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesionCell motility and migrationOrganelle dynamicsCell biophysics and mechanicsMolecular mechanobiologyCytosk... dynamicsCell proliferationCellula... metabolismSignal transductionMolecula... sortingCellular differentiation and reprogrammingCellula... senescence and programmed cell deathCell specializationTechni... advances in cell biologyIn silico modelling of cell functions

Experimental Eye Research

ISSN: 0014-4835
5 Year impact factor: 3.3
Impact factor: 3

Experimental Eye Research is the official journal of the International Society for Eye Research.The primary goal of Experimental Eye Research is to publish original research papers on all aspects of experimental biology of the eye and ocular tissues that seek to define the mechanisms of normal function and/or disease. Studies of ocular tissues that encompass the disciplines of cell biology, developmental biology, genetics, molecular biology, physiology, biochemistry, biophysics, immunology or microbiology are most welcomed. Manuscripts that are purely clinical or in a surgical area of ophthalmology are not appropriate for submission to Experimental Eye Research and if received will be returned without review.Most manuscripts published are original articles describing new research findings. The journal is divided into four main sections: Aqueous Humor and Optic Nerve Head; Cornea and Lens; Retina and Vascular Biology; and Ocular Immunology and Pathology, each with their own Section Editors and a roster of Executive Editors (see Editorial Board) that have expertise in these specialized areas.The Journal also publishes review articles, short communications, letters-to-the-edito... and methods papers, as well as topically-focused Special Issues. Full descriptions of each of these types of articles are detailed in the Guide for Authors.Research areas include:Production and circulation of ocular fluids and the dysfunction of these pathways underlying ocular diseaseAngiogenesis, neovascularization and regulation of blood flow in the eye in health and diseaseCell biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, and biophysics of the eye or eye tissueDevelopmental and regenerative biology of the eyeHuman and molecular genetics studies of inherited eye diseasesGene therapy and neuroprotection targeted at preventing inherited ocular diseasesNeural and general physiology of the visual process

Experimental Gerontology is a multidisciplinary journal that spans all areas of gerontology, geroscience, and geriatrics, with an emphasis on studies focused on immune, endocrine, cellular, and subcellular systems, as well as studies focused on population-based, epidemiological, and basic aspects of age-related diseases, and interventional studies. The journal also publishes studies exploring functional, motor, cognitive, behavioral, and social implications of aging. Studies aimed at bridging the gap between mechanistic and clinical aspects of gerontology, such as papers on determinants of age-related conditions oriented toward the identification and validation of their biomarkers, are highly welcomed. Clinical case reports do not fall within the scope of the journal.Experimental Gerontology publishes original research, short reports, reviews and mini-reviews. Special Issues in which leading experts are invited to serve as Guest Editors to compile a collection of reviews and original articles around a particular topic are also published in the journal. Suggestions for Special Issues can be made to the Editor-in-Chief, Editorial Board Members and editorial office.
