Biochimica et Biophysica Acta - Molecular Cell Research

Aims & Scope

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.
