Biochimica et Biophysica Acta - Molecular and Cell Biology of Lipids

Aims & Scope

BBA Molecular and Cell Biology of Lipids publishes papers on original research dealing with novel aspects of lipid biology including the biosynthesis, degradation, and transport of lipids, the role of lipids and the lipidome in cells and whole organisms, and the regulation of lipid metabolism and function in normative health and disease states.

Manuscripts should significantly advance the understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying biological processes in which lipids are involved using biochemical, biophysical, cell and molecular biological, genetic, or physiological approaches.

Papers detailing novel methodology should also include biochemical, molecular, or functional insight in the area of lipids.
