2008 was a great year for the journal which saw its Impact Factor rise to 3.108, an achievement reflected in this small selection of the best new work published in the journal.
Articles were selected for their presentation of outstanding new research, receipt of the highest praise from our international referees, and the greatest number of downloads from the journal website, providing a taste of the journal's overall content.
Information on how to access, write for or subscribe to Physical Biology can be found on the journal's homepage or by contacting us.
I hope you will enjoy reading this selection.
