Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying biological processes, including neurovascular coupling in emotional regulation, auditory processing in the cochlear nucleus, early human development using blastoid models, genetic factors in high myopia, aging in muscle stem cells, and the influence of social status on immune responses. Studies utilize advanced techniques such as single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, genetic manipulation, and optogenetics in model organisms like mice, as well as human stem cells.
