Journal Title：Physical Biology

Physical Biology publishes articles in the broad interdisciplinary field bridging biology with the physical sciences and engineering. This journal focuses on research in which quantitative approaches – experimental, theoretical and modeling – lead to new insights into biological systems at all scales of space and time, and all levels of organizational complexity.

Physical Biology accepts contributions from a wide range of biological sub-fields, including topics such as:

molecular biophysics, including single molecule studies, protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions

subcellular structures, organelle dynamics, membranes, protein assemblies, chromosome structure

intracellular processes, e.g. cytoskeleton dynamics, cellular transport, cell division

systems biology, e.g. signaling, gene regulation and metabolic networks

cells and their microenvironment, e.g. cell mechanics and motility, chemotaxis, extracellular matrix, biofilms

cell-material interactions, e.g. biointerfaces, electrical stimulation and sensing, endocytosis

cell-cell interactions, cell aggregates, organoids, tissues and organs

developmental dynamics, including pattern formation and morphogenesis

physical and evolutionary aspects of disease, e.g. cancer progression, amyloid formation

neuronal systems, including information processing by networks, memory and learning

population dynamics, ecology, and evolution

collective action and emergence of collective phenomena.
