The Journal of Cell Biology

The Journal of Cell Biology was first published in 1955 with the aim of providing “a common medium for the publication of morphological, biophysical, and biochemical investigations on cells, their components, and their products”. The Journal of Cell Biology has made a number of seminal contributions to cell biology, including the first descriptions of the secretory pathway, mitochondrial and chloroplast DNA, and microtubules. Now published twice monthly, the journal welcomes submissions in fields including, but not limited to, cell adhesion and motility; cellular communication; the cell cycle and cell division; cell growth, survival, and death; gene expression and RNA metabolism; organelle biogenesis and homeostasis; and signal transduction.
