A New Peer-Reviewed Journal Molecular and Cellular
Biomechanics:
The new Journal “Molecular and Cellular Biomechanics (MCB)”
is dedicated to a truly new and unique field of multidisciplinary
research - Molecular and Cellular Biomechanics. Mechanical
cues influence the behavior of all living cells, and play a central
role in embryogenesis and tissue physiology, as well as in a wide
variety of diseases. Recent technological advances in cellular
engineering, nanotechnology, biological imaging, and computer
modeling have led to new insight into mechanotransduction, the
process by which physical forces influence the biochemical activities of individual molecules, both in isolation and within living
cells. MCB publishes original articles in the field of molecular
and cellular biomechanics, as well as invited reviews, technical
reports, rapid communications, and letters to the Editor.
Who Should Submit and Subscribe:
• Biomechanists in molecular and cellular engineering fields;
• Biophysicists working with molecules and cells;
• Molecular and cellular biologists interested in roles of mechanical forces in tissue and organ formation and regeneration;
• Tissue engineers focused on physical modulation of tissue
and organ regeneration;
• Clinicians believed in physical interventions in disease prevention and treatment.

deformations, and transduce them into biological responses. Studies of single cell behavior,
including viscoelastic properties, cell growth, spreading, rounding, crawling, cell adhesion, cell cytoskeleton dynamics, cell-cell
and cell-extracellular matrix interactions.
Multiscale Computational Tools: Development of simulation models and numerical methods for the analysis, modeling, and
prediction of the biomechanical behaviors and function of single cells (and their extracellular matrix) and biomolecules.
Experimental Biomechanics Methods: Development of experimental techniques to study the mechanical behavior of cells including
local probes to deform a portion of the cell, mechanical deformation of a single cell, and simultaneous mechanical stressing of a
population of cells.
