Ageing Research Reviews
As the average human life expectancy has increased, so too has the impact of ageing and age-related disease on our society. Ageing research is now the focus of thousands of laboratories that include leaders in the areas of genetics, molecular and cellular biology, biochemistry, and behaviour. Ageing Research Reviews (ARR) covers the trends in this field. It is designed to fill a large void, namely, a source for critical reviews and viewpoints on emerging findings on mechanisms of ageing and age-related disease. Rapid advances in understanding of mechanisms that control cellular proliferation, differentiation and survival are leading to new insight into the regulation of ageing. From telomerase to stem cells to energy and oxyradical metabolism, this is an exciting new era in the multidisciplinary field of ageing research. The cellular and molecular underpinnings of manipulations that extend lifespan, such as caloric restriction, are being identified and novel approaches for preventing age-related diseases are being developed. ARR publishes articles on focussed topics selected from the broad field of ageing research, with an emphasis on cellular and molecular mechanisms of the aging process and age-related diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and neurodegenerative disorders. Applications of basic ageing research to lifespan extension and disease prevention are also covered in this journal.- ISSN: 1568-1637

Journal of Food Engineering
Journal of Food Engineering (JFE), since its first issue in 1982, aims to provide an international forum for publication of original research papers on any subject at the interface between food and engineering, particularly those of relevance to industry with emphasis on novelty, engineering rigor and clear perspectives of applications, including:Engineerin... properties of foods, food (multi-phase and multi-scale) physics and physical chemistry with their effects on food processing with novelty and relevance of engineering properties to food manufacturing.Innova... methods, sensors and actuators for food processing, quality and safety, packaging, storage, and supply chain, Advanced engineering aspects of analysis, design and optimization of food processing, control of food processing equipment and plant,Artificial intelligence and data-driven innovations with an emphasis on industrial applications, andSustainability and economics of the proposed solutions for food engineering, including alternative processes.With respect to process design and optimization, mathematical modeling studies with validation and process applications in conventional and novel processing illustrating food engineering principles are of particular interest. The use of specific software in modeling studies should avoid using the black-box approach and present the fundamental details of the applied modeling approach. Design and optimization studies should demonstrate engineering rigor rather than only observational comparisons. For analytical techniques (such as imaging methods and image processing with machine learning, and the use artificial intelligence), the manuscripts should demonstrate the required scientific background and potential innovative food process applications. Food packaging related manuscripts focusing on quantitative analysis (e.g., release kinetics, diffusion modelling, novel shelf-life modelling methods) are also of interest for publication in JFE.For review articles, critical comprehensive reviews should present a detailed background of the given subject with critical opinions of the authors suggesting challenges and priorities for the future research. The authors must have a significant scientific background on the topic to discuss the insights obtained from the literature with a critical assessment of the food engineering rigor of the reviewed works. Our expectation of engineering rigor in works published in JFE has various aspects:clear presentation of the underlying (e.g., physical or chemical) mechanism and its rationale within the (food) engineering discipline,developme... of theoretical considerations that are well grounded in physical/chemical sciences, experimental design and approaches described in a sufficient manner so that they can be replicated in another laboratory,data analysis based on well-established statistical methods,development of mathematical models with validation and for broader application of results, discussion of results that demonstrate how the work uniquely contributes to new knowledge, andwhen appropriate, application of results to industrial-scale problem-solving, with an emphasis on quantitative approach and analysis.- ISSN: 0260-8774

Tissue and Cell
Tissue and Cell is devoted to original research on the organization of cells, subcellular and extracellular components at all levels, including the grouping and interrelations of cells in tissues and organs. The journal encourages submission of ultrastructural studies that provide novel insights into structure, function and physiology of cells and tissues, in health and disease. Bioengineering and stem cells studies focused on the description of morphological and/or histological data are also welcomed.Studies investigating the effect of compounds and/or substances on structure of cells and tissues are generally outside the scope of this journal. For consideration, studies should contain a clear rationale on the use of (a) given substance(s), have a compelling morphological and structural focus and present novel incremental findings from previous literature.- ISSN: 0040-8166
