Frontiers in Neuroendocrinology (FIN) is comprised of comprehensive review articles, systematic reviews, opinion pieces, and meta-analyses. Most of the reviews are invited but we welcome unsolicited reviews and meta-analyses, and proposals for thematic special issues provided they meet the quality threshold of the journal. We also encourage authors to submit proposals for commentaries which succinctly raise new ideas or provide additional analysis to further explore ramifications of an article published in the journal.Research areas of interest include:Endocrine interactions that influence neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative diseaseSex differences in clinical populations and in pre-clinical modelsStress and stress systems interactions with health and diseaseNeuroendocrine influences on health across the lifespan from development, puberty, adulthood and agingMicrobiota/neuroendocrine interactions with health and diseaseNeuroendocrine -immune interactions: links to behavior and diseaseIntegrative cellular, molecular and behavioral aspects of hormonally active neuropeptidesComparative and clinical neuroendocrinologyNeuroendocrine control of energy balance, glucose homeostasis, and metabolism
Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology was established in 1974 to meet the demand for integrated publication on all aspects related to the genetic and biochemical effects, synthesis and secretions of extracellular signals (hormones, neurotransmitters, etc.) and to the understanding of cellular regulatory mechanisms involved in hormonal control.The journal is fulfilling this aim by publishing full-length original research papers, rapid papers, reviews, invited Special Issues, and book reviews.The scope encompasses all subjects related to genetic, epigenetic, biochemical, and molecular aspects of endocrine research and cell regulation. These include: (1) mechanisms of action of extracellular signals (hormones, neurotransmitters, etc.), (2) interaction of these factors with receptors, (3) generation, action and role of intracellular signals such as cyclic nucleotides and calcium, (4) hormone-regulated gene expression, (5) impact of gene structure on endocrine functions, (6) structure and physicochemical properties of hormones, hormone receptors and other hormone-binding components, (7) synthesis, secretion, metabolism and inactivation of hormones, neurotransmitters, etc. (8) hormonal control of differentiation, (9) related control mechanisms in non-mammalian systems, (10) methodological and theoretical aspects related to hormonal control processes, (11) clinical and translational studies as far as they throw new light on basic research in this field, (12) control of intermediary metabolism at the cellular level, (13) ultrastructural aspects related to hormone secretion and action, (14) comparative aspects of endocrinology only if they elucidate novel hormonal mechanisms.
Peptides is an international journal presenting original contributions and reviews on the genetics, biochemistry, physiology, and pharmacology/pharmaceutics of biological active peptides, as well as their functions that relate to neuroscience, metabolic control, diabetes, clinical aspects in gastroenterology, endocrinology, diabetology, appetite control, cancer, and behavioral & psychological effects.Peptides emphasizes all aspects of high profile peptide research in mammals and non-mammalian vertebrates. Special consideration can be given to plants and invertebrates if related to peptides in general. Submission of articles with clinical relevance is particularly encouraged.
The Official Journal of the International Society of PsychoneuroendocrinologyPsychoneuroendocrinology publishes papers dealing with the interrelated disciplines of psychology, neurobiology, endocrinology, immunology, neurology, and psychiatry, with an emphasis on multidisciplinary studies aiming at integrating these disciplines in terms of either basic research or clinical implications. One of the main goals is to understand how a variety of psychobiological factors interact in the expression of the stress response as it relates to the development and/or maintenance of neuropsychiatric illnesses. The journal is international and comprises original research papers, reviews of an area of the literature, or at an appropriate stage in the development of the author's own work, commentaries in areas of current interest, short communications and book reviews. Although reviews, editorials and commentaries are usually by invitation, interested authors can contact the Editor-in-Chief to discuss the suitability of topics for either category of manuscripts.Authors are also welcome to submit their manuscripts to the journal's open access companion title, Comprehensive Psychoneuroendocrinology .
General The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology is devoted to experimental and theoretical developments in areas related to steroids, sterols, hopanoids, vitamin D and lipids. JSBMB is interested in functional analyses of signal transduction pathways, impact on molecular phenotypes and clinical outcome, and metabolomics of these molecules. Our journal publishes a variety of contributions, including:Original research articlesGeneral and focused reviewsMini-reviews (addressing controversial or hot contemporary topics)Rapid communications (brief articles of particular interest and clear novelty).Selected cutting-edge topics are addressed in Special Issues managed by Guest Editors. Special Issues contain both commissioned reviews and original research papers to provide comprehensive coverage of specific topics. Regardless of the type of submission, all submissions undergo rigorous peer-review prior to publication.ScopeManuscripts related to unsolved issues in genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, structural biology, steroid chemistry, cell biology, evolution, comparative endocrinology, molecular medicine, translational research and clinical medicine, and systems biology “omics” are encouraged.Specific aimsStudies on signal transduction pathways, functional annotation of genes and kinetics of metabolic pathwaysAnalyses of mechanisms underlying homeostasis in aging, health and diseaseStudies on steroids, molecular endocrinology and metabolism in transgender individualsInvestigations on target and off-target effects for therapies or drugs (including doping and anabolic steroids)Provision of new analysis tools, synthesis and analysis methods, and reference dataCreation of enduring and validated resources for metabolomics and systems biology analysesEnhancement of our understanding, and the development of approaches to study the interplay between the environment, genomes, metabolism and diseaseExclusion criteria for manuscriptsWe do not accept data that have been as a whole, or in part, published elsewhere (does not apply to data that has been deposited in a data repository or documents that have been posted on a preprint server)We do not accept case descriptions or clinical descriptions of cohorts without analyses of mechanisms leading to changed phenotypesWe do not accept observations collected by experiments in a single cell line, single sample of organism, reagents or tools that are not validated (e.g. antibodies that are not characterized, origin and identity of cells that are not depicted, analytical methods not characterised for LOD, precision and accuracy)We do not accept data based on technical replicates rather than biological replicates, or the use of inappropriate statistical analysesWe do not accept GWAS without functional analyses explaining associations or at least a functional discussions on correlationsPublic Acces.

Trends in Endocrinology and Metabolism (TEM) is a leading Reviews journal in the fields of metabolism and endocrinology. We publish rigorous, forward-looking, and engaging articles that span the range from cellular bioenergetics to whole-body physiology. You can read about recent advances in timely areas like cardiometabolic disorders, endocrine diseases, molecular and cellular biology, circadian and exercise physiology, immunometabolism, cancer metabolism, and host-microbiome metabolic homeostasis, as well as articles on the societal dimension of metabolic and endocrine research.TEM serves as an invaluable source of information for researchers, clinicians, lecturers, teachers and students. Reviews and Opinion articles form the foundation of each monthly issue. Reviews are invited from leading researchers in a specific field and objectively chronicle recent and important developments. Opinion articles provide a forum for debate and hypotheses. Our shorter pieces include Science & Society that highlight topical issues at the intersection of science, society and policy, Spotlights; that focus on exciting recent developments in the literature, and single-point hypotheses as Forum articles. Hormone of the Month and Metabolite of the Month articles are intended to provide a quick primer on a specific hormone or metabolite. Responses to previously published TEM content are welcome and encouraged in the form of Letters.All articles are subjected to stringent peer-review, ensuring balance and accuracy.Visit the Cell Press website for more information about Trends in Endocrinology and Metabolism go to https://www.cell.com/trends/endocrinology-metabolism
