Cellular Biochemistry
A section of Biomolecules (ISSN 2218-273X).
Section Information
The section "Cellular Biochemistry" covers all biochemical aspects of cellular biology and physiology including metabolism, regulation of gene expression, regulation of protein activities, intracellular trafficking, organellar function and interactions, cell division, differentiation, cell polarity and cell death. Papers that provide insight into the roles of specific biochemical pathways and processes in inherited and acquired diseases, including cancer, are also welcome. We invite review and original research articles that include, but are not limited to, the following topics:
cell signaling; cell death; intracellular trafficking (protein, lipids, cytoskeleton, etc.), host–pathogen interactions; extracellular vesicle biology; intercellular communication; autophagy; cellular metabolism; inter-organelle communication; membrane transport; mitochondrial dynamics and function; cell polarity
