Description
Joanne Murphy-Ullrich uses a 2026 editorial letter to announce her retirement as editor-in-chief of two journals, Matrix Biology and Matrix Biology Plus. Both journals serve researchers who study the extracellular matrix, the material that surrounds and supports cells. She has led the journals since 2022, after joining as an editor in 2021.
The letter names Sylvie Ricard-Blum as her successor from June 1, 2026. Murphy-Ullrich points to Ricard-Blum's record as a past president of matrix biology societies and her 2025 distinguished investigator award. She also thanks the wider editorial team and recalls changes made under her watch, including new standards for rigor and new article series on medicine and methods. The letter closes by asking readers to welcome and support the incoming editor.
