Biofactors

BioFactors is an official publication of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB). It is dedicated to publishing significant original research and reviews on biological factors and welcomes relevant submissions in experimental biology in health and disease.

BioFactors publishes research dealing with the identification of new substances—known as biofactors—and the elucidation of their functions at the biophysical, biochemical, cellular and human level. The scope of BioFactors encompasses the evolving definition of biofactors and includes a wide range of substances such as cytokines, chemokines, hormones, transcription factors, signaling molecules, vitamins, micronutrients, phytochemicals, minerals, among others. The journal is particularly interested in approaches related to biotechnology, synthetic biology and enzyme engineering applied to nutrition and agri-food, plant biology, aging-related diseases, environmental sciences and sustainability.
