Four New Journals from BioMed Central
Nutrition & Metabolism
http://www.nutritionandmetabolism.com/
Fulltext v1+ (2004+)
ISSN: 1743-7075
Description: Nutrition & Metabolism is an open access, peer-reviewed, online journal focused on the integration of nutrition, exercise physiology, clinical investigations, and molecular and cellular biochemistry of metabolism. The areas of interest of Nutrition & Metabolism encompass studies in obesity, diabetes, lipidemias, metabolic syndrome and exercise physiology that have an underlying basis in metabolism. Likewise, we seek submission of manuscripts on the biochemistry of metabolism, cell signaling, molecular and cellular biology of nutrients, nutrient gene interactions and other areas that have implications for human nutrition and medicine. Current, but not exclusive, interests are metabolic effects of diet composition, interactions of macronutrients, effect of nutrients on gene expression, metabolic control and compartment models, nutritional effect of hormones, and genomic analysis of dietary phenomena.
Theoretical Biology & Medical Modelling
http://www.tbiomed.com/
Fulltext v1+ (June 2004+)
ISSN: 1742-4682
Description: Theoretical Biology and Medical Modelling (TBiomed) is an Open Access, peer-reviewed, online journal adopting the broadest definition of "biology", and the conceptual modelling required to understand its complexity. Theoretical biology inevitably involves modelling, our way of conceptualizing something tangible enough not to rely entirely on the spoken word. Medical modelling is included in the journal scope because a lot of fundamental biology leads to medical or veterinary applications. Cancer is a clear example. In this age of computing and bioinformatics, mathematicians, biophysicists, philosophers, historians of science, surgeons and cell physiologists come together to lend their talents to our emerging concepts. This is the field in which TBiomed will operate.
Virology Journal
http://www.virologyj.com/
Fulltext v1+ (2004+)
ISSN: 1743-422X
Description: Virology Journal is an Open Access, peer-reviewed, online journal that presents high-quality original research concerning viruses, and establishes a strategic alternative to the traditional virology communication process. Virology Journal will feature articles on human, animal, plant, insect, bacterial, and fungal viruses. The journal will also publish articles on molecular aspects of the control and prevention of viral infections with vaccines and antiviral agents and on the use of viruses as gene therapy vectors. The approaches and techniques used are expected to encompass many disciplines, including molecular genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, biophysics, structural biology, cell biology, immunology, morphology, genetics and pathogenesis.
CytoJournal
http://www.cytojournal.com/home
Fulltext v1+ (Sept 2004+)
ISSN: 1742-6413
Description: CytoJournal publishes papers on all aspects of diagnostic cytopathology including complimentary applications such as molecular pathology. Cytopathology is a well-established diagnostic sub-specialty of pathology; it attempts to identify diagnostic and prognostic information from dispersed cells obtained by non-invasive or minimally invasive techniques.
