Gene Expression is an open-access journal dedicated to publishing research at the intersection of science, biology, and medicine. The journal’s mission is to advance human health by providing a platform for disseminating the latest research breakthroughs from biomedical, translational, and basic scientists across both established and emerging disciplines relevant to human translational biomedicine. It was launched in 1991 by Chicago Medical School Press and transferred to Cognizant Communication Corporation in 1994. Since August 2022, Gene Expression has been published by Xia & He Publishing Inc.
Gene Expression publishes peer-reviewed, high-quality original articles, reviews, editorials, commentaries, and opinions on core research topics, including cell biology, molecular biology, genes, and genetics, with a particular focus on the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying human diseases, specifically in areas such as cardiovascular disease, immunology and vaccines, metabolism, diabetes and obesity, neuroscience, cancer, infectious diseases, aging, biomarkers, gene and cellular therapy, animal models of human diseases, medical integrative omics analysis, epigenetics and regulatory RNAs, and other interdisciplinary approaches.
Examples of content in Gene Expression:
- Investigative studies of human biology, with an emphasis on disease.
- Research on models of human disease with significant implications for treatment.
- Focus articles, Perspectives, and Reviews that discuss medically relevant research from both basic science and clinical viewpoints.
- Special issues featuring comprehensive reviews and analyses of current topics in translational biomedicine.
Gene Expression is indexed in Medline (1991-2021), Scopus, Biological Abstracts, Biosis Previews, ProQuest, and other databases.
Mission
Over the past 50 years, significant advances have been made in our understanding of human biology, alongside the development of powerful new technologies. However, the translation of this knowledge into effective treatments and health measures has been slow. Gene Expression aims to publish articles that bridge the gap between preclinical research and medical applications, accelerating the translation of scientific discoveries into new methods for preventing, diagnosing, and treating human diseases.
Content
Gene Expression publishes original, peer-reviewed research that showcases significant advancements toward improving patient outcomes. The journal maintains high-quality standards, with contributions evaluated by the editors, an international advisory board of scientists, clinician-scientists, and other scientific review experts.
Audience
The journal is intended for researchers and leaders in academia, government, biotechnology, and the pharmaceutical industry; physician-scientists; regulators; policymakers; investors; business developers; and funding agencies.
