CELL BIOCHEMISTRY AND FUNCTION

Cell Biochemistry and Function publishes original research articles and reviews on the mechanisms whereby molecular and biochemical processes control cellular activity with a particular emphasis on the integration of molecular and cell biology, biochemistry and physiology in the regulation of tissue function in health and disease. The primary remit of the journal is on mammalian biology both in vivo and in vitro but studies of cells in situ are especially encouraged. Observational and pathological studies will be considered providing they include a rational discussion of the possible molecular and biochemical mechanisms behind them and the immediate impact of these observations to our understanding of mammalian biology. Areas of particular interest include: Dysregulation of cellular function in disease Cell cycle control with respect to cell proliferation, differentiation and death DNA and RNA processing and the effects on cellular activity The regulation of stem cells and regenerative medicine Intra-cellular organelles, metabolism and the control of cell biochemistry Local niches and cell function Cell communications and regulations by chemicals
