Trends in Cell Biology

Aims & Scope

Trends in Cell Biology is among the leading review journals in molecular and cell biology.

Review articles published each month monitor the breadth and depth of current research in cell biology, reporting on new developments as they happen and integrating methods, disciplines and principles.

All articles are commissioned from leading scientists and then subjected to stringent peer-review, ensuring balance and accuracy.

In addition to Reviews, Trends in Cell Biology publishes Opinion articles, which follow trends and provide innovative ideas to give insight into the implications of new developments and suggest future directions.
