Cells (ISSN: 2073-4409) is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal published online semi-monthly by MDPI, providing an advanced forum for studies related to cell biology, molecular biology, and biophysics.

On 7 October 2024, the Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet decided to award the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine jointly to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.

MicroRNAs are proving to be fundamentally important for how organisms develop and function. Some interesting papers about microRNA research are published in the journal Cells. We are pleased to invite you to read the notable papers related to microRNA research in Cells.
