Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering

Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering (CMBE) focuses on research that studies how cellular behavior arises from molecular-level interactions to improve human health. The journal publishes research using engineering principles and methods to advance fundamental knowledge and technological solutions related to cellular and molecular systems, including cell growth, differentiation, migration, signal transduction, protein secretion and transport, gene expression and regulation, and cell-matrix interactions.
