Journal Guide

Journal of Mammary Gland Biology and Neoplasia provides researchers within and outside the field of mammary gland biology with an integrated source of information derived from studies of the development, function, and pathology of the mammary gland. This quarterly journal offers comprehensive analyses of all aspects of the field, considering the fundamental biology and pathology of the mammary gland including, but not restricted to mammary development, the biology of breast cancer, lactation, milk proteins, bioactive agents in milk, hormonal regulation, growth factors, signal transduction, nutrition, and genetics. Each outstanding issue, guest edited by prominent authorities in the field, contains a series of minireviews encompassing a single topic. Researchers in the field of mammary gland biology, dairy scientists, and breast cancer researchers, as well as cell biologists, medical scientists, oncologists, nutritionists, pediatricians, and obstetricians will benefit from this quarterly.

The Journal of Membrane Biology (JMB) publishes papers on the nature, structure, genesis and functions of biological membranes, and on the physics and chemistry of artificial membranes with a bearing on biomembranes. JMB offers articles dealing with plasma membranes; intracellular membranes; membrane organs; biomembrane models; and general considerations of two dimensional biological structures. Coverage includes chemical and physical structure; immunochemical properties and fingerprinting; colloid and surface chemistry; transport and secretory functions, including natural and artificial transport carrier systems, membrane channels, diffusion and pinocytosis; metabolic functions, membrane-bound enzyme systems, transduction; electrical phenomena in excitable membranes, nerve, muscle, receptors, etc; membrane–membrane interaction, intercellular communication; membrane synthesis and replication; cell regulatory functions of membranes and cybernetic aspects; membrane genetics; evolution and comparative aspects
