Cells | Highly Cited Papers Published in 2024 in the “Cellular Pathology” Section

The “Cellular Pathology” Section of Cells (ISSN: 2073-4409) focuses on cellular pathology, molecular mechanisms of diseases, and the characterization of cellular pathways relevant to pathogenic processes. We encourage the submission of manuscripts (original data and reviews) that address all aspects of cellular pathology, including those related to mechanisms of genetic, infectious, or acquired diseases, autoimmune disorders, ageing, and cellular damage through extrinsic causes. We particularly seek submissions that provide novel insights and/or concepts to advance the field of cellular pathology in human diseases.

Our readers can enjoy free and unlimited access to the full texts of all of the open access articles published in our journal. We welcome you to read our most highly cited papers published in 2024 below:
