Abstract
Molecular biology aims to understand the details of life by focusing closely on biopolymers—DNAs, RNAs, and proteins—and how they interact with one another. Advances in this field have enabled dazzling achievements in virtually all areas of biological, biomedical, and clinical sciences. As we draw near to the conclusion of Cell’s 50th anniversary, we celebrate the wonders of molecular biology and look ahead to the exciting path forward for a branch of science that is driven by curiosity and has always been an integral part of the journal.
期刊介绍:
Cells is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal that focuses on cell biology, molecular biology, and biophysics. It is affiliated with several societies, including the Spanish Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (SEBBM), Nordic Autophagy Society (NAS), Spanish Society of Hematology and Hemotherapy (SEHH), and Society for Regenerative Medicine (Russian Federation) (RPO).
The journal publishes research findings of significant importance in various areas of experimental biology, such as cell biology, molecular biology, neuroscience, immunology, virology, microbiology, cancer, human genetics, systems biology, signaling, and disease mechanisms and therapeutics. The primary criterion for considering papers is whether the results contribute to significant conceptual advances or raise thought-provoking questions and hypotheses related to interesting and important biological inquiries.
In addition to primary research articles presented in four formats, Cells also features review and opinion articles in its "leading edge" section, discussing recent research advancements and topics of interest to its wide readership.
