Cell Metabolism publishes reports of novel results in any area of metabolic biology, from molecular and cellular biology to translational studies. The unifying theme is homeostatic mechanisms in health and disease, from simpler model systems all the way to the clinic. Published work should not only be of exceptional significance within its field, but also of interest to researchers outside the immediate area. Cell Metabolism also provides expert analysis and commentary on key findings in the field. The journal's mission is to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and concepts across the entire metabolic research community, cultivating new areas and fostering cross-disciplinary collaborations in basic research and clinical investigation. Cell Metabolism publishes papers in any aspect of basic and translational metabolic research, including (but not limited to):Adipogenesis/lipidsObesityDiabetesCardiovascular diseaseHypertensionBone homeostasisAging and stress responseEnergy balanceMitochondriaHormone receptorsFor more information please visit www.cellmetabolism.org

Cellular Signalling publishes full-length, original papers, written in a concise style, that describe key, novel findings on all aspects of mechanisms, actions and structural components of cellular signalling systems. The emphasis is on:• Effector systems, such as protein kinases, lipid signalling pathways, cyclic nucleotide signalling processes, NO signalling and ion channels;• The production, regulation, degradation and action of second messengers; the structure, regulation, degradation and action of receptors;• Guanine nucleotide regulatory proteins;• Bio-informatic studies related to cell signalling mechanisms;• Compartmentalisation/compartmentation of signalling systems;• Anchor/scaffold signalling proteins;• The effect of cellular signalling events on the functioning, growth and differentiation of cells in normal and pathological states and also cellular oncogenes.Within the scope of the journal, manuscripts dealing with biochemistry, protein structure, cell biology, molecular biology, pharmacology, neurobiology, molecular endocrinology and molecular oncology are welcomed.The journal does not publish short reports.Cellular Signalling will also publish Topical Reviews of some five thousand to eight thousand words. In general, reviews will be solicited by the Editorial Board. However, intending contributors of unsolicited review articles can send a brief summary of their proposed Topical Review to the Editorial Office for comment on its possible acceptability prior to submission.

In an effort to distribute its content to the widest audience possible, CMGH is an open access, all-digital journal. We will maximize our digital platform by including graphical abstracts, animated illustrations, large data sets, and video microscopy, endoscopy, and whole animal imaging approaches. Initially, CMGH will be a bi-monthly publication, moving to a monthly publication in its second year. CMGH will debut its first issue in January 2015. Our editors will rapidly and fairly review submissions with the assistance of an expert editorial board and external reviews. Following rigorous peer review, accepted manuscripts will be published online within days of the final decision.

CMGH is led by Jerrold R. Turner, MD, PhD, AGAF (The University of Chicago) and Associate Editors James R. Goldenring, MD, PhD, AGAF (Vanderbilt University School of Medicine) and Rebecca G.

This journal is designed to reflect current developments and advances being made in the general field of cement-concrete composites technology and in the production, use, and performance of cement-basedconstruction materials. The word cement is interpreted in a wide sense, including not only Portland cement but also blended cements and other binding materials. In addition to novel aspects of conventional concrete materials, the journal covers a wide range of composite materials such as fiber-reinforced cement composites, polymer cement composites, polymer impregnated composites, ferrocement, and cement composites containing special aggregate inclusions or waste materials. Original papers dealing with microstructure (as it relates to engineering properties), material properties, testing and test methods, fracture mechanics, durability aspects, composite mechanics/technology, modelling, design, fabrication and practical applications of these materials form the major themes of the journal. Provided there is sufficient linkage to properties defined at the material scale, papers concerning the behavior of structural components and systems, in situ performance, and field studies will also be accepted for review, as well as those concerning the repair and maintenance, serviceability behavior, and sustainability of structures made with these materials.The journal has within the above context several specific objectives. It wants to foster a better understanding of construction materials, provide a forum for unusual and unconventional materials, encourage the development of low cost energy saving materials and bridge the gap between materials science, engineering performance, environmental effects, in situ behavior, design/service life and construction. It is the intention of the journal to also publish special issues devoted to topics of current or emerging interest. The journal aims to provide a unifying basis for collaboration between materials scientists, engineers, designers and fabricators.

The aim of Cement and Concrete Research is to publish the best research on cement, cement composites, concrete and other allied materials that incorporate cement. In doing so, the journal will present: the results of research on the properties and performance of cement and concrete; novel experimental techniques; the latest analytical and modelling methods; the examination and the diagnosis of real cement and concrete structures; and the potential for improved materials. The fields which the journal aims to cover are:• Processing: Cement manufacture, mixing and rheology, admixtures and hydration. While the majority of articles will be concerned with Portland cements, we encourage articles on other cement systems, such as calcium aluminate.• Structural and Microstructural Characterisation of the unhydrated components and of hydrated systems including: the chemistry, crystal structure, pore structure of cement and concrete, characterisation techniques, and structural and microstructural modelling.• The properties of cement and concrete, including: fundamental physical properties; transport, mechanical and other properties, the processes of degradation of cement and concrete; and the modelling of properties, both as a means of predicting short and long performance, and as a means of relating a material's structure to its properties.• Applications for cement and concrete, including: concrete technology, fibre reinforcement, waste management, and novel concretes.The journal's principal publications are original articles containing new information, major reviews and selected papers from important conferences. Discussion of published material and rapid communications will form part of the journal where appropriate. The journal will focus on papers with a broad interest, based upon their subject area, the quality of the research, the novelty of the results and the potential for assimilation of the findings.
