IUBMB Life is the flagship journal of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and is devoted to the rapid publication of the most novel and significant original research articles, reviews, and hypotheses in the broadly defined fields of biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, and molecular medicine. The journal publishes interdisciplinary, basic to translational research and covers all fields in the life science at every level of organization:
Research communications are original research articles that present new findings of unusually high importance, which provide major new functional insights in biology. Critical Reviews are short, concise, and sharply focused reviews of current hot topics in the biological sciences. Critical Reviews and Hypotheses Papers make new specialized areas highly accessible to all scientists and develop novel insights and approaches for future research. Articles that integrate several biological disciplines, or successfully relate basic biology to human pathology or medicine, are especially encouraged.
Examples of topics of interest are:
·         Autophagy
·         Biomolecular interactions, signaling networks, systems biology
·         Cell cycle, cell growth, cell differentiation, Cell death
·         Cell signaling and regulation
·         Chemical biology
·         Computational biology
·         DNA replication, repair, and recombination
·         Development biology,
·         Epigenetics, chromatin structure and function
·         Gene expression
