Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications (BBRC) is the premier international journal devoted to the very rapid dissemination of timely and significant experimental results in diverse fields of biological research. For short communication papers, we offer the fastest submission to acceptance of any journal within life sciences, with "accept" decisions rendered within three weeks of submission. We also consider full-length research papers and review articles.The journal covers most of areas of life science: BiochemistryBiophysi... biologyCellular pathology and cancerComputational biology and bioinformaticsGeneti... and inflammationMicrobio... and virologyNanomedicine and bionanomaterialsNeur... BiologyStructural biologyBBRC does not typically publish clinical reports or studies primarily focused on associations in patient samples or treatment and observation of human subjects. Theoretical studies or studies based on pure and applied mathematics are considered out of scope.BBRC’s expectations for research using natural products, in particular studies on compounds or mixtures of compounds (e.g., herbal extracts), are that evidence demonstrating similar activity of purified component(s) of that extract must be provided and that the percentage of purity must be stated (as per guidance provided in https://bpspubs.onli... see our Guide for Authors for information on article submission.

Progress in Lipid Research
Publishing Invited ReviewsThe importance of lipids as one of the fundamental classes of biological compounds is well established. The application of our of the biochemistry, chemistry and physiology of lipids to biotechnology, the fats and oils industry and medicine have continued to expand apace. In addition new dimensions such as lipid biophysics, especially with relevance to membranes and lipoproteins, and basic liposome research and applications have been added. To cope with all these advances in knowledge a journal is needed to review recent progress in particular fields and to set current research against its historical background. Progress in Lipid Research fulfils this role.Each volume contains up-to-date surveys of special aspects of lipid research. The invited reviews are comprehensive enough to provide sufficient overview but concentrate on reporting and critically appraising the most recent data. Subjects are chosen for their timeliness or because major developments have taken place in the last few years. They include methodological reviews as well as chemical, biochemical and medical articles. All lipid compounds and derivatives are covered, ranging from fatty acids and other simple molecules, through steroids, terpenoids and phospho- or glycolipids to complex structures such as lipoproteins and biological membranes. We hope that those whose main interest is in lipid biophysics and liposome research will join as new readers, benefiting from the journal's classical aspects of lipid metabolism, lipids in signal transduction and lipid enzymology, and that current readers will benefit from the exposure to top quality research on the new aspects.PLR solely publishes review articles, and submissions are by invitation only. If you have not been invited, but would like to have a review article considered, please send your proposal to the Editorial Office (Mrs. Andy Deelen at [email protected]... thereby indicating which editor has the most appropriate expertise to handle the manuscript.
