Hormone Molecular Biology and Clinical Investigation

Aims & Scope

Hormone Molecular Biology and Clinical Investigation (HMBCI) is dedicated to the provision of basic data on molecular aspects of hormones in physiology and pathophysiology.

The journal covers the treatment of major diseases, such as endocrine cancers (breast, prostate, endometrium, ovary), renal and lymphoid carcinoma, hypertension, cardiovascular systems, osteoporosis, hormone deficiency in menopause and andropause, obesity, diabetes, brain and related diseases, metabolic syndrome, sexual dysfunction, fetal and pregnancy diseases, as well as the treatment of dysfunctions and deficiencies.

HMBCI covers new data on the different steps and factors involved in the mechanism of hormone action.

It will equally examine the relation of hormones with the immune system and its environment, as well as new developments in hormone measurements.

HMBCI is a blind peer reviewed journal and publishes in English: Original articles, Reviews, Mini Reviews, Short Communications, Case Reports, Letters to the Editor and Opinion papers.

Ahead-of-print publishing ensures faster processing of fully proof-read, DOI-citable articles.
