Abstract
This editorial for Volume 16, Issue 4 of Biophysical Reviews highlights recent contributions to biophysics from many parts of the world. Biophysical Reviews is the official journal of the International Union for Pure and Applied Biophysics (IUPAB 2024). The international scope of the articles in the issue exemplifies the goals of IUPAB to organize worldwide advancements, co-operation, communication, and education in biophysics. The articles in the Issue are illustrative of the wide array of topics and quantitative approaches used by scientists from many fields to explore and understand how biology-indeed, all life-works.
期刊介绍:
Biophysical Reviews aims to publish critical and timely reviews from key figures in the field of biophysics. The bulk of the reviews that are currently published are from invited authors, but the journal is also open for non-solicited reviews. Interested authors are encouraged to discuss the possibility of contributing a review with the Editor-in-Chief prior to submission. Through publishing reviews on biophysics, the editors of the journal hope to illustrate the great power and potential of physical techniques in the biological sciences, they aim to stimulate the discussion and promote further research and would like to educate and enthuse basic researcher scientists and students of biophysics. Biophysical Reviews covers the entire field of biophysics, generally defined as the science of describing and defining biological phenomenon using the concepts and the techniques of physics. This includes but is not limited by such areas as: - Bioinformatics - Biophysical methods and instrumentation - Medical biophysics - Biosystems - Cell biophysics and organization - Macromolecules: dynamics, structures and interactions - Single molecule biophysics - Membrane biophysics, channels and transportation
