Cell Signaling
A section of Cells (ISSN 2073-4409).
Section Information
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 notes, that emphasize signaling networks governing all aspects of cell signaling, including mechanisms and control of receptor signaling and regulation of all aspects of cell function, including growth, proliferation, differentiation survival, gene expression, metabolism, and trafficking.
