Experimental Biology and Medicine (EBM) is a global, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the publication of multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research in the biomedical sciences. EBM provides both research and review articles as well as mini reviews and brief communications. Articles in EBM represent cutting edge research at the overlapping junctions of the biological, physical and engineering sciences that impact upon the health and welfare of the world's population. EBM is particularly appropriate for publication of papers that are multidisciplinary in nature, are of potential interest to a wide audience, and represent experimental medicine in the broadest sense of the term. However, manuscripts reporting novel findings on any topic in the realm of experimental biology and medicine are most welcome. Topics covered in EBM include: Aging; AI in Biology and Medicine; Biochemistry and Molecular Biology; Bioimaging; Biomarkers in Regulatory Science; Biomedical Engineering; Bionanoscience; Cell and Developmental Biology; Clinical Trials; Editorials and Commentaries; Endocrinology and Nutrition; Genomics, Proteomics and Bioinformatics; Immunology; Infectious Diseases; Neuroscience; Pharmacology and Toxicology; Physiology, Pathophysiology and Mechanisms of Disease; Population Health; Stem Cell Biology; Structural Biology; and Translational Research.
