Integrative Biology is now accepting original research papers and reviews from all areas of the chemical sciences relating to quantitative biosciences from nano to macro. The journal provides a unique venue for elucidating biological processes, mechanisms and phenomena through quantitative enabling technologies at the convergence of biology with physics, chemistry, engineering, imaging and informatics. 

The following papers are a selection from those accepted for publication in the first issue:

• Genome-wide transcriptome analysis of 150 cells samples - Mehmet Toner et al        

• Analysis of aptamer sequence activity relationships - Doug Kell        

• Elucidation of Single Hematopoietic Stem Cell Fate in Artificial Niches - Helen Blau et al        

• Human mammary progenitor cell fate decisions are products of interactions with combinatorial microenvironments - Mina Bissell        

• Manipulation and integration of biological samples using micro and nano techniques - Jaime Castillo & Winne Svendsen         

Published monthly, the journal will contain a mix of primary research papers and reviews. All submitted articles will be subject to rigorous peer-review by experts in the field. 

• The first issue will appear in January 2009
