After investigation, it was found that some of the manuscripts published in this journal came from a "paper mill", which has been manipulating submissions through social media account "Wechat: dr-prof-ben". The journal has now retracted all the manuscripts involved.
To maintain the high standards of Molecular & Cellular Biomechanics, we have invited a team of academic editors who perform quality checks at every stage of the manuscript process. This ensures that every submission meets the journal's stringent requirements.
For manuscripts that do not meet these standards, the team will make constructive suggestions for revisions, and publication will not occur until they meet the journal's quality standards.
