Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying various biological processes and diseases. Articles investigate topics such as cell signaling pathways (e.g., Toll-like receptor signaling, MAPK/ERK pathway), gene expression and regulation, cellular responses to stress and disease (e.g., cancer, neuroinflammation, diabetes, autoimmune disorders), and the development of therapeutic strategies and biotechnologies. The scope also includes studies on biomaterials, drug delivery systems, and the genetic and phenotypic analysis of organisms.
