Transfusion and Apheresis Science
Official Journal of the World Apheresis Association, Turkish Society of Apheresis, European Society for Haemapheresis and Società Italiana di Emaferesi e Manipolazione CellulareTransfusion and Apheresis Science brings comprehensive and up-to-date information to physicians and health care professionals involved in the rapidly changing fields of transfusion medicine, hemostasis and apheresis. The journal presents original articles relating to scientific and clinical studies in the areas of immunohematology, transfusion practice, bleeding and thrombotic disorders and both therapeutic and donor apheresis including hematopoietic stem cells. Topics covered include the collection and processing of blood, compatibility testing and guidelines for the use of blood products, as well as screening for and transmission of blood-borne diseases. All areas of apheresis - therapeutic and collection - are also addressed. We would like to specifically encourage allied health professionals in this area to submit manuscripts that relate to improved patient and donor care, technical aspects and educational issues.Transfusion and Apheresis Science features a "Theme" section which includes, in each issue, a group of papers designed to review a specific topic of current importance in transfusion and hemostasis for the discussion of topical issues specific to apheresis and focuses on the operators' viewpoint. Another section is "What's Happening" which provides informal reporting of activities in the field. In addition, brief case reports and Letters to the Editor, as well as reviews of meetings and events of general interest, and a listing of recent patents make the journal a complete source of information for practitioners of transfusion, hemostasis and apheresis science. Immediate dissemination of important information is ensured by the commitment of Transfusion and Apheresis Science to rapid publication of both symposia and submitted papers.- ISSN: 1473-0502
Journal of Human Evolution
The Journal of Human Evolution concentrates on publishing the highest quality papers covering all aspects of human evolution. The central focus is aimed jointly at paleoanthropological work, covering human and primate fossils, and at comparative studies of living species, including both morphological and molecular evidence. These include descriptions of new discoveries, interpretative analyses of new and previously described material, and assessments of the phylogeny and paleobiology of primate species. Submissions should address issues and questions of broad interest in paleoanthropology.In addition to original research papers, space is allocated for the rapid publication of short communications on new discoveries, such as exciting new fossils, as well as to lead book reviews and obituariesResearch Areas Include:Paleoanthrop... work, covering human and primate fossilsComparative studies of living species, including both morphological and molecular evidencePrimate systematics and phylogeny, behaviorFunctional studies, particularly relating to diet and locomotionBody size and allometric studiesStudies in Paleolithic archaeologyTaphonomi... stratigraphical, and geochronological studies supporting fossil evidence for primate and human evolutionGenetic and paleoproteomic approaches to human evolutionPaleoecolog... and paleogeographical models for primate and human evolutionPlease see the Guide for Authors for further information.- ISSN: 0047-2484
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta: Proteins and Proteomics
BBA Proteins and Proteomics covers protein structure conformation and dynamics; protein folding; protein-ligand interactions; enzyme mechanisms, models and kinetics; protein physical properties and spectroscopy; and proteomics and bioinformatics analyses of protein structure, protein function, or protein regulation.The journal no longer considers manuscripts dealing with binding of compounds such as drugs or drug analogues to circulatory proteins such as serum albumin. These studies are better accommodated in journals dealing with drug design and development.Manuscri... must advance our insights into the molecular and mechanistic properties of proteins. Computational studies must generally be validated or complemented by experimental studies. Studies only consisting of computational work will not be considered unless they provide new theoretical insight that allows us to better understand or reinterpret surprising or unexpected experimental data.Comparative proteomics studies are generally not considered for review unless they provide specific insights into the structural and/or functional properties of individual proteins. Proteomics studies must also address properties of individual proteins and should as far as possible be validated by direct investigations of relevant identified proteins.Concise and comprehensive reviews of recent developments are considered for publication. However, authors are strongly advised to consult one of the Executive Editors before starting a review.Please see our Guide for Authors for information on article submission.
