Journal of Molecular Psychiatry has now launched
Journal of Molecular Psychiatry, a new journal edited by Professor Johannes Thome, has now published its first articles with BioMed Central. The journal publishes scientific work focusing on the elucidation of the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying neuropsychiatric disorders and disseminates state-of-the-art research focusing on psychiatric conditions, their diagnosis, therapy and prevention.
Advancing understanding in eating disorders
Journal of Eating Disorders, a new BioMed Central journal is now accepting submissions. Edited by Professor Phillipa Hay and Professor Stephen Touyz, this journal aims to disseminate research that provides answers to the important issues and key challenges in the field of eating disorders, and to facilitate translation of evidence into practice.
Acta Neuropathologica Communications is accepting submissions
Acta Neuropathologica Communications, a new BioMed Central journal, edited by Werner Paulus is now accepting submissions. The journal publishes experimental and descriptive papers on the pathology of nervous system and skeletal muscle disorders and on mechanisms of neurological disease using morphological, molecular and cell biology methods.
