Scope
Mitochondrial Research is dedicated to publishing and disseminating new and significant findings involving the role of mitochondria in cell physiology and pathology. Mitochondria serve as central hubs of energy conservation in the cell, transforming the energy deriving from oxidation of substrates into the chemical energy required to perform work, establish ion gradients, and carry out biosynthetic reactions. Their role extends well beyond that of power generation, however, and encompasses signaling pathways involved in cell life and death decisions, disease progression, gene expression patterns, protein posttranslational modifications and cellular redox balance. Although well studied, mysteries still abound with respect to the molecular components involved in the regulation of mitochondrial function, how mitochondrial biogenesis is tuned to the metabolic state of the organ and organism, the spatial and temporal dynamics of mitochondria within the cell, and the mechanisms of signal transduction between mitochondria, other cellular organelles, the cytoskeleton, and the plasma membrane. Moreover, recognition of the essential role of mitochondria in longevity and health raises the challenge to view mitochondria as vital targets for therapeutic intervention in the future. Without a doubt, new roles for mitochondria in the physiology of the cell will be discovered as powerful new technologies are applied, and our mission at Mitochondrial Research is to be at the forefront of the field, rapidly disseminating novel experimental evidence, concepts, and hypotheses to the broadest possible audience. The history of the field of mitochondrial research provides clear examples of how radical ideas evolve into bedrock principles, and hopefully, this section will be a forum for breaking down dogmatic ideas to provide the space required for further scientific advancement.Indexed in: PubMed, PubMed Central, Scopus, Google Scholar, DOAJ, CrossRef, Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS), Ulrich's Periodicals Directory, CLOCKSS, OpenAIRE
PMCID: all published articles receive a PMCID
Mitochondrial Research welcomes submissions of the following article types: Brief Research Report, Correction, Data Report, Editorial, Hypothesis and Theory, Methods, Mini Review, Opinion, Original Research, Perspective, Protocols, Review, Specialty Grand Challenge, Systematic Review and Technology Report.
All manuscripts must be submitted directly to the section Mitochondrial Research, where they are peer-reviewed by the Associate and Review Editors of the specialty section.
Articles published in the section Mitochondrial Research will benefit from the Frontiers impact and tiering system after online publication. Authors of published original research with the highest impact, as judged democratically by the readers, will be invited by the Chief Editor to write a Frontiers Focused Review - a tier-climbing article. This is referred to as "democratic tiering". The author selection is based on article impact analytics of original research published in all Frontiers specialty journals and sections. Focused Reviews are centered on the original discovery, place it into a broader context, and aim to address the wider community across all of Physiology and Cell and Developmental Biology.
