Molecular and Cellular Toxicology

Aims & Scope

Molecular & Cellular Toxicology publishes original research and reviews in all areas of the complex interaction between the cell´s genome (the sum of all genes within the chromosome), chemicals in the environment, and disease.

Acceptable manuscripts are the ones that deal with some topics of environmental contaminants, including those that lie in the domains of analytical chemistry, biochemistry, pharmacology and toxicology with the aspects of molecular and cellular levels.

Emphasis will be placed on toxic effects observed at relevant genomics and proteomics, which have direct impact on drug development, environment health, food safety, preventive medicine, and forensic medicine.

The journal is committed to rapid peer review to ensure the publication of highest quality original research and timely news and review articles.
