BIOFACTORS

《生物因子》是一份国际期刊，旨在确定和增进我们对生物体所需要的大量微量物质的精确生化作用和作用的理解。这些物质包括维生素和微量元素，以及细胞自身产生的生长因子和调节物质。在一个特定的有机体或细胞系中，阐明微量活性物质的作用，常常直接适用于许多其他形式的生命。为了保持这种生物化学的统一观点，《生物因子》发表了关于新物质的鉴定和在基本生物化学水平上阐明其功能以及揭示已知微量物质的新功能的文章。

BioFactors is an international journal aimed at identifying and increasing our understanding of the precise biochemical effects and roles of the large number of trace substances that are required by living organisms. These include vitamins and trace elements, as well as growth factors and regulatory substances made by cells themselves. The elucidation, in a particular organism or cell line, of the roles of substances active in trace quantities, is frequently applicable directly to many other forms of life. In keeping with this unified view of biochemistry, BioFactors publishes articles dealing with the identification of new substances and the elucidation of their functions at the basic biochemical level as well as those revealing novel functions of trace substances already known.
