The FEBS Journal has a long and distinguished history. Its origin dates back to 1906 with the founding of ‘Biochemische Zeitschrift’, which was renamed to the ‘European Journal of Biochemistry’ in 1967, and finally, to ‘The FEBS Journal’ in 2005. Throughout these transitions, our strong commitment to publishing rigorous, high-impact research has remained unchanged.

As the impact of biochemistry in the life sciences has evolved alongside the growth of molecular life sciences research over the decades, our scope has dynamically expanded to match. Today, The FEBS Journal unites diverse scientific communities in all aspects of the molecular life sciences, from molecules to ecosystems.

We are particularly interested in papers in which state-of-the-art approaches are applied to bring novel insight into molecular and cellular mechanisms that underlie the functions of molecules, cells and organisms. The FEBS Journal also welcomes manuscripts of an interdisciplinary nature, including systems approaches that address fundamental concepts in molecular, cellular or organismal biology.

Today, we are proud to introduce our newest curated collections under a single thematic umbrella that perfectly captures our spirit, ‘Biochemistry & Beyond’.

You can explore some of the brilliant articles that we have curated across five topic-specific collections:

‘Plants & biotechnology’ covers basic and applied studies in plant biology, genetics, ecology and biotechnology.‘RNA biology & epigenetics’ offers insights into the fascinating world of RNA biology and the epigenetic regulation of gene expression.

‘Organismal biology’ includes detailed comparative and integrative organismal biology studies that advance biotechnology, conservation and medicine.

‘Cardiobiology’ showcases genetic, molecular and mechanistic insights in cardiobiology research that can inform new treatment and prevention strategies for cardiovascular disease.

‘Stem Cells & Development’ offers broad insight into the mechanisms, mechanics, regulation and dysregulation of cell development, stemness and regeneration.

 We hope you enjoy exploring our ‘Biochemistry & Beyond’ collections.

At The FEBS Journal, biochemistry is the starting point, but not the limit!
