Supporting Cell Press journals

Cell Host and Microbe was launched in March 2007. The journal's mission is to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and concepts between scientists studying the microbe with those studying the host immune, cell biological, and molecular response upon colonization or infection by a microbe.

Cell Host & Microbe will publish novel findings related to microbes (which includes bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses) from molecular and cellular biology to translational studies with particular emphasis on the interface between the microbe and its host (vertebrate, invertebrate, or plant; unicellular or multicellular). The unifying theme is the integrated study of microbes (pathogenic, non-pathogenic, and commensal) in conjunction and communication with each other, their host, and the cellular environment they inhabit. Work published in Cell Host & Microbe is expected not only to be of exceptional significance within its field, but also of interest to researchers outside the immediate area. In addition to primary research manuscripts, Cell Host & Microbe will publish expert analysis, commentary, and reviews on topics of current interest in the field.

Trends in Microbiology provides a multidisciplinary forum for the discussion of all aspects of microbiology: from cell biology and immunology to genetics and evolution, and ranges across virology, bacteriology, protozoology and mycology.

Microbiology is, at present, one of the fastest moving disciplines in life sciences, thanks also to technological developments of the recent years. The relative ease and rapidity with which small genomes can be entirely sequenced is beginning to have significant impact on all areas of prokaryote biology, from pathogens to extremophiles, and will fuel new developments, for example, in drugs, vaccines and industrial enzyme research. Recent international developments are also responsible for a renewed interest in microbiology.

The table of contents includes a lively mix of commentary, correspondence and review. Most articles are commissioned and all of them are peer-reviewed. Consequently, they make an authoritative basis for teaching and keeping abreast of developments across the field.
The focus is on molecular microbiology and virology, and includes topics such as genomics, the gamut of plant and animal host-pathogen interactions, host immune responses, characterization and evolution of virulence determinants, cell cycle and differentiation, symbiosis in plant and animal associations, environmental microbiology, biodiversity and evolution, population dynamics, sex and mutagenesis, antibiotic resistance and production, drug and vaccine targets, as well as aspects of prion diseases and of fungal and protozoan biology.

Immunity  publishes the most important advances in immunology research. We welcome studies that provide fundamental new immunological insights at the molecular, cellular, or whole organism level. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, cancer, infectious disease, neuroimmunology, autoimmune disease, allergy, mucosal immunity, metabolic disease, and homeostasis.

Cell publishes findings of significance in all areas of experimental biology, including: cell biology, molecular biology, neuroscience, immunology, virology and microbiology, cancer, human genetics, systems biology, signaling, and disease

Cell Reports publishes high-quality research across the life sciences. The primary criterion for publication in Cell Reports is new biological insight. We have three primary article types. Reports are shorter, single-point articles; research articles are the longer format for work with deeper mechanistic insight; and resources highlight significant technical advances or major informational datasets that are used to show a biological advance. Reviews covering recent literature in emerging and active fields are also welcome.

The professional in-house editors of Cell Reports work closely with authors, reviewers, and the journal's scientific advisory board. The advisory board comprises current and future leaders in their respective fields who guide the journal’s scope, content, and quality. However, editorial decisions at Cell Reports are made independently by its in-house scientific editors.

Trends in Immunology plays an essential role in monitoring advances in the various fields of immunology, bringing together the results in a readable and lucid form. The backbone of each issue is a series of succinct reviews and hypothesis-driven viewpoints. Together with the other sections of the magazine they give the reader a complete picture of the diverse field of immunology.
