MCB showcases fundamental discoveries in gene expression and genome organization, cellular morphology and function, molecular metabolism, cellular trafficking, and signal transduction. The journal also is interested in studies that investigate molecular, cellular, and systemic host responses to pathogenic agents in chronic diseases and conditions.

MCB is edited by leading investigators in the field of molecular biology, and decisions are based solely on scientific merit. MCB recognizes that rigorous, in-depth extensions of prior observations contribute in an important way to the advancement of scientific knowledge. We welcome studies that build upon, clarify, or question previous work in the field and thereby move the field forward.

MCB welcomes the following article types for publication:

  • Research Articles
  • Minireviews
  • Commentaries
  • Letters to the Editor

MCB is now Format Neutral.
