Aims & Scope

The Journal of Membrane Biology focuses on publishing high-quality scientific research related to membrane biology, biochemistry, and biophysics. Explores the nature, structure, genesis, and functions of biological membranes, and the physics and chemistry of artificial membranes. Includes transport and secretory functions, such as natural and artificial transport carrier systems, membrane channels, diffusion, pinocytosis, and more. Welcomes work that uses modern experimental or computational methods. Encourages the publication of 'negative' results from well-performed experiments or simulations.
