BioEssays

Aims & Scope

molecular – cellular – biomedical – physiology – translational research – systems - hypotheses encouraged BioEssays is a peer-reviewed, review-and-discussion journal.

Our aims are to publish novel insights, forward-looking reviews and commentaries in contemporary biology with a molecular, genetic, cellular, or physiological dimension, and serve as a discussion forum for new ideas in these areas.

An additional goal is to encourage transdisciplinarity and integrative biology in the context of organismal studies, systems approaches, through to ecosystems, where appropriate.
