First Person interviews
Have you seen our First Person interviews with the early-career first authors of our papers? The authors talk about their work in and out of the lab, the journeys that led them to where they are now and the scientists who inspired them along the way. Recently, we caught up with first authors Xuemeng Shi, Taisuke Seike, Hiral Shah and Indrasen Magre.
Abdou Rachid Thiam and Isabelle Dugail review the main principles of protein-lipid droplet (LD) interactions and recent evidence indicating the importance of contact sites with other organelles in the regulation of LD functions.
Review - Molecular form and function of the cytokinetic ring
MariaSanta Mangione and Kathleen Gould highlight new findings about the arrangement of molecules within the force-generating cytokinetic ring from studies using advanced microscopy techniques and in vitro approaches.
Mole - Dignity II
“It is one thing to doubt a result. It is a very different thing to doubt the intelligence, ability, and even the integrity of the one reporting it.”
Read Mole’s guide to scientific dignity.
Meet the Team
Journal of Cell Science Editors are going to be out and about in July.
Meet Senior Editor Petra Gross at the 2nd Mechanobiology meeting in Vietnam, Executive Editor Sharon Ahmad at the GRC Molecular membrane biology conference and Editor in Chief Michael Way and Reviews Editor Manuel Breuer at the GRC Motile and contractile systems conference.
New manuscript transfer network between JCS, JCB and MBoC
Journal of Cell Science (JCS), Journal of Cell Biology (JCB) and Molecular Biology of the Cell (MBoC) announce a new manuscript transfer option that will empower authors whose manuscripts have been declined to seamlessly transfer their manuscripts and associated peer review reports between the journals.
Journal of Cell Science is pleased to welcome submissions for an upcoming special issue on 'Cell Biology of the Immune System' edited by Ana-Maria Lennon-Duménil. We invite you to showcase your breakthrough research on all aspects of cell biology as it relates to the immune system. The articles within this issue will receive extensive exposure to a broad audience of cell biologists and immunologists. Extended submission deadline: 15 August 2019.
preLights - Cytoskeletal tension actively sustains the migratory T cell synaptic contact
Tim Fessenden highlights a preprint from Darrel Irvine and team who reveal that actin foci establish a tensile network which sustains the immunological synapse formed during T cell activation.
Catch up with other recent preLights selected for the cell science community.
