We are now accepting submissions for our upcoming special issue on ‘Reconstituting cell biology’, guest edited by Manuel Théry. Click here for more information.
Opinion – The triple helix of collagens
In a new Opinion article, Billy G. Hudson and colleagues argue that the triple helix is an ancient protein structure of fundamental importance in building the extracellular matrix that enabled animal multicellularity and tissue evolution.
JCS Meeting – Cell dynamics: organelle-cytoskeleton interface
The second in our series of cell dynamics meetings now turns to organelles. This May 2019 meeting in Lisbon, Portugal, aims to bring together scientists studying the interface between organelles and the cytoskeleton at different scales and perspectives using a range of model systems.

Review – Dynamics of cortical domains in early Drosophila development
Cortical domains are a central feature of epithelial and polarised cells. Anja Schmidt and Jörg Grosshans present a Review of the dynamics of cortical domains in early Drosophila embryos and discuss underlying mechanisms for formation of cortical domains.
Cell scientist to watch – 2018 Hooke medal winner Andrew McAinsh
“…identify an interesting, good scientific question and try to answer it.”
Andrew McAinsh, Head of Division of Biomedical Sciences at Warwick Medical School, is interested in understanding how the chromosomal multi-protein complex, the kinetochore, ensures error-free chromosome segregation. He is the recipient of the 2018 Hooke medal, established to recognize an emerging leader in cell biology.
We also feature interviews with first authors of a selection of papers published in Journal of Cell Science, helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Check out our recent First Person interviews with Thibault Courtheoux and Alghassimou Diallo, Francesco Consolato and Emily Herman.
