BMC Molecular and Cell Biology

Announcing the launch of In Review

BMC Molecular and Cell Biology, in partnership with Research Square, is now offering In Review. Authors choosing this free optional service will be able to:

Share their work with fellow researchers to read, comment on, and cite even before publication
Showcase their work to funders and others with a citable DOI while it is still under review
Track their manuscript - including seeing when reviewers are invited, and when reports are received

Aims and scope

BMC Molecular and Cell Biology, formerly known as BMC Cell Biology, is an open access journal that considers articles on all aspects of both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cell and molecular biology, including structural and functional cell biology, DNA and RNA in a cellular context and biochemistry, as well as research using both the experimental and theoretical aspects of physics to study biological processes and investigations into the structure of biological macromolecules.

We are recruiting!

We are currently looking for new Associate Editors to join our team of academic editors, assessing manuscripts in the field of molecular and cell biology. We are particularly interested in hearing from researchers specializing in archaeal and prokaryote biology, protein folding or structure and function of macromolecules but all applications will be considered.

Journal Sections

Transcription and translation
Structure and function of macromolecules
Cell cycle and cell division
Signalling
Membrane processes/transport
Protein folding, proteasome, degradation
Cell death
Molecular basis of disease
Metabolism

Matthias Falk, Section Editor

Matthias Falk, PhD is Professor for Cell Biology in the Department of Biological Sciences at Lehigh University, USA. His research investigates the biosynthesis, structure and function of gap junctions, plasma membrane channels that provide direct cell-to-cell communication and physical cell-cell adhesion.
