Scope
Membrane Physiology and Membrane Biophysics deals with all functional and structural aspects of the approximately 3 nanometers of life, the plasma membrane, an authentic and fascinating frontier itself. It is our goal to disseminate the current knowledge and novel experimental evidence on cell membrane functions tackling all cardinal points on membrane biology: from evolutionary and adaptive physiology to pathophysiology of disease, from membrane dynamics and signal transduction to biophysics, from biochemistry and molecular biology to translational physiology, and from integrative cell biology to the development of new methodological and computational approaches to study cell membranes. It is also a central focus of Membrane Physiology and Biophysics to explore the highly dynamic microdomains that can be formed and disintegrate by complex interactions between lipids and proteins in response to a variety of external and internal stimuli; an evolving concept that goes beyond the relatively simple and homogeneous fluid mosaic model as proposed by Singer and Nicholson’s nearly four decades ago. The goal of Membrane Physiology and Biophysics is to be at the forefront of the field by publishing high-quality research at the cutting-edge of the investigation of the membrane life and death. We encourage authors devoted to the investigation of the cell membrane to publish their research in this unique platform.The Specialty was renamed in July 2013 from "Membrane Physiology and Biophysics" to "Membrane Physiology and Membrane Biophysics".

Membrane Physiology and Membrane Biophysics welcomes submissions of the following article types: Book Review, 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 Membrane Physiology and Membrane Biophysics, where they are peer-reviewed by the Associate and Review Editors of the specialty section.
Articles published in the section Membrane Physiology and Membrane Biophysics 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, Cell and Developmental Biology and Physics.
