The Journal of Molecular Cell Biology (JMCB) is an online, peer-reviewed journal interested in inter-disciplinary studies at the cross-sections between molecular and cell biology as well as other disciplines of life sciences. The broad scope of JMCB reflects the merging of these life science disciplines such as stem cell research, signaling, genetics, epigenetics, genomics, development, immunology, cancer biology, molecular pathogenesis, neuroscience, plant biology, and systems biology. The journal will publish primary research papers with findings of unusual significance and broad scientific interest. Review articles, letters and commentary on timely issues are also welcome.JMCB features an outstanding Editorial Board, which will serve as scientific advisors to the journal and provide strategic guidance for the development of the journal. By selecting only the best papers for publication, JMCB will provide a first rate publishing forum for scientists all over the world.

The Journal of Molecular Histology publishes 6 times a year full-length original research papers, review articles, short communications and letters to the editors. Coverage includes studies describing novel cellular or ultrastructural distributions of molecules which provide insight into biochemical or physiological function, development, histological structure and disease processes. Among the techniques addressed are histochemistry, immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, receptor binding, autoradiography, image capture and processing, and reporter molecules as well as state-of-the-art visualization techniques. Areas of research include: Cell-Cell and Cell-Matrix Interactions; Connective Tissues; Development and Disease; Neuroscience. The Journal of Molecular Histology does not consider manuscripts dealing with the application of immunological or other probes on non-standard laboratory animal models unless the results are clearly of significant and general biological importance.

J Mol Med publishes reports describing major advances in the understanding, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of human disease through the application of molecular biology and gene technology, a research discipline that has become known as molecular medicine.  The journal publishes original papers and review articles of the highest quality pertinent to all aspects of human biology and pathophysiology. J Mol Med is the continuation of the Berliner Klinische Wochenschrift (1864), one of the oldest and most prestigious European journals in which great scientists such as Paul Ehrlich, Robert Koch and Otto Warburg published their seminal, epoch-making discoveries.

The Journal of Molecular Neuroscience is committed to the rapid publication of original findings that increase our understanding of the molecular structure, function, and development of the nervous system. The criteria for acceptance of manuscripts will be scientific excellence, originality, and relevance to the field of molecular neuroscience. Manuscripts with clinical relevance are especially encouraged since the journal seeks to provide a means for accelerating the progression of basic research findings toward clinical utilization. All experiments described in the Journal of Molecular Neuroscience that involve the use of animal or human subjects must have been approved by the appropriate institutional review committee and conform to accepted ethical standards.

World Scientific is proud to announce the launch of a new online submission system, Editorial Manager (EM), for Journal of Musculoskeletal Research. One of the industry standard systems used by major academic publishers, EM provides a full online solution for manuscript submission, peer-review, and tracking. Authors can submit their LaTeX or MS-Word manuscript source files at the submission stage and check review progress from their web accounts Referees can submit reports easily through the easy-to-use web interface and have access to their assignments online anytime Editors can manage and monitor submissions, send reminders to referees and keep up-to-date via automatic email alerts The "Online Ready" section features articles which have been formatted, checked, and finalized. These articles are citable by their volume number, article ID, and DOI.

Journal of Nanobiotechnology is ready to receive manuscripts on all aspects of scientific and technological advances in the fields of medical, biological and nanoscale sciences.

The Journal of Natural Products invites and publishes papers that make substantial and scholarly contributions to the area of natural products research. Contributions may relate to the chemistry and/or biochemistry of naturally occurring compounds or the biology of living systems from which they are obtained. When new compounds are reported, manuscripts describing their biological activity are much preferred.

Topics may include, but are not limited to:

• Secondary metabolites of microorganisms, including antibiotics and mycotoxins
• Physiologically active compounds from terrestrial and marine plants and animals
• Biochemical studies, including biosynthesis and microbiological transformations
• Fermentation and plant tissue culture
• Isolation, structure elucidation, and chemical synthesis of novel compounds from nature
• Pharmacology of compounds of natural origin 

Manuscripts that focus on biological properties of chemically complex extracts, mixtures, or essential oils are outside the scope of the journal.
