AAPS invites authors to submit papers to a Theme Issue of its new electronic journal,AAPS PharmSci, on the general topic of epithelial cell permeability and drug absorption. Manuscripts are invited from the broad range of topics including:

1) molecular membrane transporters e.g. P-gp, hPepT1, etc.
2) membrane structure and biophysics
3) permeability determination including HTS
4) epithelial cell permeability in mucosal tissues
5) epithelial cell permeability in pharmacokinetics
6) individual variability in drug penetration of epithelial membranes
7) prediction of permeability and drug absorption
8) drug regulatory standards based on permeability including BA and BE standards

Theme Issue will be separately advertised to target audiences, to enhance the impact of papers submitted under a common umbrella.

Papers will be accepted by e-mail attachment to  or by disk to the AAPS Editorial office (see  Instructions to Authors) Manuscripts will undergo an expedited review by two experts to determine suitability for publication.  Manuscripts will be published immediately following acceptance in this theme issue volume ofAAPS PharmSci; the paper will also appear in the regular monthly issue ofAAPS PharmSci as an alternative entry point for our readers.
