Aims & Scope

Matrix Biology (established in 1980 as Collagen and Related Research) is a cutting-edge journal that is devoted to publishing the latest results in matrix biology research. We welcome articles that reside at the nexus of understanding the cellular and molecular pathophysiology of the extracellular matrix. Matrix Biology focusses on solving elusive questions, opening new avenues of thought and discovery, and challenging longstanding biological paradigms.
