Cellular Pathology
A section of Cells (ISSN 2073-4409).
Section Information
The Cellular Pathology section will focus on cellular pathology, molecular mechanisms of diseases, and characterization of cellular pathways relevant to pathogenic processes. We encourage the submission of manuscripts (original data and reviews) dealing with 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 especially welcome submissions that provide novel insights and/or conceptual advances to the knowledge of various aspects of cellular pathology in human diseases.
