Description
BBA Molecular Cell Research focuses on understanding the mechanisms of cellular processes at the molecular level. These include aspects of cellular signaling, signal transduction, cell cycle, apoptosis, intracellular trafficking, secretory and endocytic pathways, biogenesis of cell organelles, cytoskeletal structures, cellular interactions, cell/tissue differentiation and cellular enzymology. Also included are studies at the interface between Cell Biology and Biophysics which apply, for example, novel imaging methods for characterizing cellular processes. Please note: We usually do not consider descriptive manuscripts dealing with the identification of transcripts regulated by single miRNAs or lncRNAs, unless substantial new mechanistic insight into their (patho)physiological activity is provided. Descriptive evaluation of natural compounds as potential drug candidates are generally not within the purview of BBA-MCR, unless novel targets or molecular mechanisms for these compounds are identified.
