Macro-autophagy, micro-autophagy, and chaperone-mediated autophagy are lysosomal degradative processes that allow cells to eliminate unwa...

Cell gene therapy involves two aspects: cell therapy and gene therapy. Cell therapy is a method that uses the patient's own or donor cells to stimulate an immune response or cell regeneration to kill pathogens and tumor cells. It includes immune cell therapy, stem cell therapy, and somatic cell t...

The primary criterion for publication in the ‘Cell Methods’ Section is a robust, reproducible method that will spur scientific progress. Papers presenting a new tool or set of reagents that will be of significant utility and interest to the community will also be considered. Areas of ...

Cell–cell contact formation, cellular association with the extracellular matrix (ECM) and cell movements within it underlie the apparent, as well as the invisible, spatial and temporal changes associated with much of life’s processes. These processes range from simple resource tropism...

The main function of the nucleus is to control cell growth and reproduction via regulating gene expression, DNA replication, and protein production. This section of Cells aims to publish findings that provide novel phenomena and/or conceptual advances to the field. Relevant research topi...

All cells are exposed to diverse and partially conflicting exogenous or endogenous signaling events that govern cell proliferatio...

The “Cell Signaling” section of Cells aims to stimulate research that focuses on the understanding of cell signaling in evolution, development, physiology, health, and disease. We welcome manuscripts, including original research, review articles, communications, and technical...

The cardiovascular system comprises the heart, blood and lymphatic vessels, and blood. Its most well-known function is the transport of oxygen and nutrients and waste removal, but it also represents the road for immune and stem cells, hormones, and active metabolites. The importance of the cardio...
