Scope
Aims, scope and focus
Cellular and Molecular Biology is published by Cellular and Molecular Biology Association. By OpenAlex counts of its recent articles, its largest topics are MicroRNA in disease regulation, Cancer-related molecular mechanisms research and Medicinal Plant Research, together about 35.6% of its articles. (generated from OpenAlex topic counts and CAS ranking data)
Cellular and Molecular Biology publishes original articles, reviews, short communications, methods, meta-analysis notes, letters to editor and comments in the interdisciplinary science of Cellular and Molecular Biology linking and integrating molecular biology, biophysics, biochemistry, enzymology, physiology and biotechnology in a dynamic cell and tissue biology environment, applied to human, animals, plants tissues as well to microbial and viral cells. The journal Cellular and Molecular Biology is therefore open to intense interdisciplinary exchanges in medical, dental, veterinary, pharmacological, botanical and biological researches for the demonstration of these multiple links.
