Cell Press Reviews: Core Concepts in Cell Biology

Written by leading cell biologists and curated by Cell Press editors, reviews in the Cell Press Reviews: Core Concepts in Cell Biology publication informs, inspires, and connects cell biologists at all stages in their careers with timely, comprehensive insight into the most recent exciting developments across cell biology and hot topics within core areas of the field including:

Signaling mechanisms and membrane biologyCytoskeletal self-organization and cell polarityOrganelle dynamics and biogenesisMorphogenesis and cell motilityChromatin and genome organization in nuclear function

Contributions come from leading voices in cell biology, who are defining the future of their field, including: - Tom Misteli, National Cancer Institute - Galit Lahav, Harvard Medical School - Scott D. Emr, Cornell University - David G. Drubin, University of California, Berkeley - Tom Rapoport, Harvard Medical School - Anthony A. Hyman, Max Planck Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology, Dresden

This publication is part of the Cell Press Reviews series, which features reviews published in Cell Press primary research and Trends reviews journals.

Provides timely, comprehensive coverage across a broad range of cell biological topicsOffers foundational knowledge and expert insights to students and others new to the fieldFeatures reviews from leaders in cell biology research and discussion of future directions for the fieldIncludes articles originally published in Cell, Current Biology, Developmental Cell, and Trends in Cell Biology
