Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on the structure, function, and properties of cell surfaces and cell walls in various organisms, including fungi, bacteria, and microalgae. Research investigates how these surface components mediate interactions with hosts or the environment, contribute to virulence or resistance, and influence mechanical properties. Studies also explore the impact of cell surface alterations on cellular physiology and responses to stress or therapeutic agents.
