Issue 47–6 of the Biomedical Journal explores the delicate boundaries of human blood. It examines the relationship between anemia and the gut microbiome, as well as the modified activation patterns in compensatory blood oxygenation observed in COVID-19, and lastly a series of experiments investigates the effects of SARS-CoV-2 variant spike proteins on the biology and morphology of red blood cells. Additionally, a fungus endemic to Taiwan shows potential as a treatment for pulmonary fibrosis, while relevant co-infections in schistosomiasis appear to be benefitting from altered receptor signaling in macrophages. A genomic study identifies an important locus in Taiwanese patients with Tourette syndrome, and a retrospective evaluation is conducted on the incidental detection of common bile duct dilatation in pediatric patients.
期刊介绍：
Biomedical Journal publishes 6 peer-reviewed issues per year in all fields of clinical and biomedical sciences for an internationally diverse authorship. Unlike most open access journals, which are free to readers but not authors, Biomedical Journal does not charge for subscription, submission, processing or publication of manuscripts, nor for color reproduction of photographs.
Clinical studies, accounts of clinical trials, biomarker studies, and characterization of human pathogens are within the scope of the journal, as well as basic studies in model species such as Escherichia coli, Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila melanogaster, and Mus musculus revealing the function of molecules, cells, and tissues relevant for human health. However, articles on other species can be published if they contribute to our understanding of basic mechanisms of biology.
A highly-cited international editorial board assures timely publication of manuscripts. Reviews on recent progress in biomedical sciences are commissioned by the editors.
