IAFSB Publications

Dear Colleagues,
the Biomedaqu project and the sixth IAFSB conference prepare a combined special volume. Contributions will be published in Biomolecules, an open access journal with an impact factor of 6.05.

We accept original papers, detailed mechanistic studies about fish bone, cartilage, and teeth in the frame of biomedical research, aquaculture research, and basic sciences. Reviews can also be accepted.

Please indicate “Fish Model: Molecular & Cellular Bases of Bone Development and Homeostasis” if you submit a manuscript. The submission deadline is: 31 March 2023

We are looking forward to your contributions
