EUROMEDITERRANEAN BIOMEDICAL JOURNAL (EMBJ) TO SUPPORT THE INTERNATIONAL CALL FOR GRANTS FROM THE ITALIAN INSTITUTE OF HEALTH DEDICATED TO YOUNG RESEARCHERS

EuroMediterranean Biomedical Journal (EMBJ) can be considered both a scientific journal and a learning tool for “researchers-in-training” coming from Euro-Mediterranean Countries and other areas of the globe. We announce the launch of an international call for grants from Istituto Superiore di Sanità (ISS, the Italian National Institute Health), reserved to young Italian and foreign researchers. We strongly encourage the junior researchers that have authored manuscripts published in EMBJ to consider the application to this extraordinary opportunity.

The eSports conundrum: Is the sports sciences community ready to face them? A perspective

The reality of eSports is something much more complex than individual users playing video games. There are several characteristics that eSports have in common with traditional sports: from the spirit of competition to the structural composition of the teams, including the increase in performance with training and practice, up to the injuries and physical and psychological stress of the athlete. The number of scientific papers interested in this reality is still relatively low, although in recent years there has been a significant increase in this regard. Probably the lack of knowledge of the world of eSports by inexperts can represent an initial obstacle in the approach to this environment.…

Focusing on a quantification and characterization of extracellular vesicles from blood in brain tumors

Molecular chaperones are required to maintain the proteome in a folded and functional state. Chaperones are structurally and functionally normal but participate in pathways that favor disease, as a tumorigenesis (1). The incidence of brain tumors is increasing rapidly and surgery is the first therapeutic intervention to safeguard the patient's life. The prognosis is poor even after surgical resection, followed by post-operatory chemo- and radio-therapy (2). Tumor-secreted extracellular vesicles (EVs) are critical mediators of intercellular communication between tumor cells and stromal cells in local and distant microenvironments. EVs play an essential role in both primary tumor growth and m…

Euromediterranean biomedical journal: A new policy about self-referencing

The median self-citation rate of a researcher normally ranged between 10% and 25%. Recent works demonstrated that, among a list of around 100,000 researchers worldwide, hundreds of authors have collected more than a half of their work citations from themselves or their co-authors. During last years, EuroMediterranean Biomedical Journal progressively sought to improve the quality of the manuscripts published, introducing the requirement for all articles to be written in English and, before acceptance, to undergone to a native English speaker proof-reading process from 2012. Moreover, a new publishing layout and a renewed web-portal of the journal were introduced in 2017, representing a furth…
