Abstract
This editorial introduces the contents of Volume 16, Issue 6 of Biophysical Reviews, the official journal of the International Union for Pure and Applied Biophysics (IUPAB). Highlights of the Issue include an invited review article by David Alsteens, the winner of the 2024 Michèle Auger Award for Young Scientists' Independent Research and a Special Issue Focus involving a series of articles based on topics addressed at the 7th Nanoengineering for Mechanobiology Symposium 2024. The broad scope of articles and the geographically widespread locations of the contributing authors of these and other reviews in the Issue mirror the goals of IUPAB, namely to organize worldwide advancements, co-operation, communication, and education in biophysics.
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
