Journal of Circulating Biomarkers

Circulating biomarkers, diagnostics using protein and lipid markers, exosomes, microvesicles, from basic science to translational and clinical applications. Circulating biomarkers, diagnostics using protein and lipid markers, exosomes, microvesicles, from basic science to translational and clinical applications.

 

Journal of Circulating Biomarkers is an international, peer-reviewed, open access, scientific, online only journal, published once a year. It focuses on all aspects of the rapidly growing field of circulating blood-based biomarkers and diagnostics using circulating protein and lipid markers, circulating tumor cells (CTC), circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) and extracellular vesicles, including exosomes, microvesicles, microparticles, ectosomes and apoptotic bodies. The journal publishes high-impact articles that deal with all fields related to circulating biomarkers and diagnostics, ranging from basic science to translational and clinical applications. Papers from a wide variety of disciplines are welcome; interdisciplinary studies are especially suitable for this journal. 

Included within the scope are a broad array of specialties including (but not limited to) cancer, immunology, neurology, metabolic diseases, cardiovascular medicine, regenerative medicine, nosology, physiology, pathology, technological applications in diagnostics, therapeutics, vaccine, drug delivery, regenerative medicine, drug development and clinical trials. The journal also hosts reviews, perspectives and news on specific topics.

 

All submitted articles considered suitable for Journal of Circulating Biomarkers are subjected to rigorous peer review to ensure the highest levels of quality. The review process is carried out as quickly as possible to minimize any delays in the online publication of articles.  This journal publishes new articles as soon as they are ready for publication (online first, as customary now for scientific journals) and then collecteding them in an issue, to guarantee rapid and efficient publication times and a content distribution to its indexing databases.

 

Submissions are encouraged from all institutions and on all topics related to circulation protein and lipid markers, CTC, cfDNA and extracellular vesicles, including: 

  • technical development and clinical application of circulating protein and lipid markers
  • technical advances in isolation, purification and characterization of CTC, cfDNA, exosomes and other extracellular vesicles
  • clinical applications of CTCs, circulating cell free DNA and extracellular vesicles
  • use of CTCs, cfDNA, exosomes and extracellular vesicles in diagnostics and companion diagnostics
  • use of extracellular vesicles in therapeutics delivery, antigen presentation and vaccine development
  • design and production of cell-derived vesicles and synthetic vesicles
  • biogenesis of extracellular vesicles, both in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells
  • mechanisms of vesicle: cell interactions intercellular signaling
  • intercellular traffic of proteins, nucleic acids and other macromolecules
  • modulation of the extracellular matrix
  • roles of extracellular vesicles in normal physiological processes, including differentiation, development, immunity, tissue repair, stem cell biology, etc.
  • roles of extracellular vesicles in disease, including cancer, neurodegeneration, diabetes, chronic inflammatory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, infectious disease, ageing, etc.
  • virology and bacteriology
  • use of extracellular vesicles in association with other synthetic nanoparticle for different scopes

Articles submitted to Journal of Circulating Biomarkers (JCB) are published after having successfully completed the peer-review process. The publication of open access articles is covered by an Article Processing Charge (APC) paid by the author after acceptance. There are no submission fees, no fees for rejected articles and there is no additional cost for manuscript length, colour items or supplementary files, including videos. APC is waived for invited reviews and editorials.

Readers have unlimited access to the full text of all articles published in the journal, without subscription or other firewalls, with no embargo period.
