Journal of Skeletal Muscle

Aims and Scope

Journal of Skeletal Muscle (JSM) is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to publishing high-quality research that encompasses all aspects of skeletal muscle physiology and pathophysiology. Our mission is to advance scientific and clinical knowledge in muscle science, ensuring that groundbreaking discoveries are accessible to researchers, clinicians, and anyone interested in muscle health.
 

Scope & Focus Areas: JSM welcomes submissions across a broad range of topics, including:

• Investigations into the fundamental processes governing muscle function, contraction, and metabolism.  
• Studies on muscle biochemistry, gene expression, and the regulation of muscle proteins.
• Detailed analyses of muscle structure and tissue composition through advanced histological and imaging techniques.  
• Research exploring muscle development, regeneration, and repair.
• Studies on muscle force generation, endurance, and biomechanical properties.  
• Research focused on metabolic pathways that drive muscle performance and adaptation.
• Research on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of muscle diseases, including neuromuscular disorders and myopathies.  
• Clinical trials and case studies in sports medicine, physical activity, exercise, and nutritional interventions for muscle health.
