Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on the development and validation of novel methodologies for biological research. Articles describe standardized protocols for creating and analyzing three-dimensional cell culture models, particularly tumor spheroids, and for preparing biological samples like brain tissue for imaging. The journal also features methods for genetic screening using CRISPR technology, assays for detecting specific biomarkers such as IgE antibodies, and techniques for studying cellular processes like protein aggregate uptake and bone resorption. Additionally, it includes frameworks for improving the interpretability and accuracy of predictive models in areas like antigen presentation.
