Journal Title：Progress In Lipid Research

The importance of lipids as one of the fundamental classes of biological compounds is well established. The application of our of the biochemistry, chemistry and physiology of lipids to biotechnology, the fats and oils industry and medicine have continued to expand apace. In addition new dimensions such as lipid biophysics, especially with relevance to membranes and lipoproteins, and basic liposome research and applications have been added. To cope with all these advances in knowledge a journal is needed to review recent progress in particular fields and to set current research against its historical background. Progress in Lipid Research fulfils this role.

Each volume contains up-to-date surveys of special aspects of lipid research. The invited reviews are comprehensive enough to provide sufficient overview but concentrate on reporting and critically appraising the most recent data. Subjects are chosen for their timeliness or because major developments have taken place in the last few years. They include methodological reviews as well as chemical, biochemical and medical articles. All lipid compounds and derivatives are covered, ranging from fatty acids and other simple molecules, through steroids, terpenoids and phospho- or glycolipids to complex structures such as lipoproteins and biological membranes. We hope that those whose main interest is in lipid biophysics and liposome research will join as new readers, benefiting from the journal's classical aspects of lipid metabolism, lipids in signal transduction and lipid enzymology, and that current readers will benefit from the exposure to top quality research on the new aspects.

脂質作為生物化合物的基本類別之一的重要性已得到充分證實。脂質的生物化學、化學和生理學在生物技術、油脂工業和醫學中的應用持續快速擴展。此外，還增加了新的維度，例如脂質生物物理學（特別是與膜和脂蛋白相關的）以及基本的脂質體研究和應用。為了應對所有這些知識進步，需要一本期刊來回顧特定領域的最新進展，并將當前研究與其歷史背景進行比較。脂質研究進展履行了這一職責。

每卷都包含脂質研究特殊方面的最新調查。邀請的評論足夠全面，可以提供足夠的概述，但集中于報告和批判性地評估最新數據。選擇主題是因為它們的及時性或因為過去幾年發生了重大發展。它們包括方法論評論以及化學、生物化學和醫學文章。涵蓋所有脂質化合物和衍生物，從脂肪酸和其他簡單分子，到類固醇、萜類化合物和磷脂或糖脂，再到脂蛋白和生物膜等復雜結構。我們希望那些主要對脂質生物物理學和脂質體研究感興趣的人能成為新讀者，從該期刊關于脂質代謝、信號轉導中的脂質和脂質酶學的經典方面受益，并希望當前的讀者能從接觸新方面的頂級研究成果中受益。

Progress In Lipid Research創刊于1978年，由Elsevier Ltd出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋生物 - 生化與分子生物學全領域，在行業領域中學術影響力很大，屬于國際一流期刊，關注度和專業度非常高，所以對原創文章要求創新性很高，過審難度很高，如果您有志于一流期刊，建議關注此刊。平均審稿速度 約稿?周期不定 約14.6周，影響因子指數14，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
