Cell scientist to watch – Adrian Saurin
Adrian Saurin is a group leader at the University of Dundee, where he studies the spatial regulation of mitotic signalling networks with the support of a Cancer Research UK (CRUK) Programme Foundation Award. He talks about the winding path to a setting up his own group, his research program and much more.
Catch up with early-career first authors in our First Person interviews. Recently, we spoke to Shelby Bearrows, Javier Coy-Vergara, Anne Schaar, Nina Short and Max Butler.
Dina Coelho and Eduardo Moreno give an introduction to the molecular mechanisms of cell competition, and the biological relevance of competition in the nervous system in the context of Alzheimer’s disease.
Review - New insights into extracellular vesicle biogenesis and function
Marc Antonyak and colleagues highlight some of the recent findings regarding the roles of extracellular vesicles in physiological and pathological processes.
Mole - Wouldn't it be nice?
“Show some courtesy; do not simply decide that everything around you is yours. It's just rude. Wouldn't it be nice if people asked permission before they photographed your poster or presentation?”
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.
Data Science in Cell Imaging Workshop - Early-career researcher places available
Apply until 16 August 2019 for a funded early-career researcher place to attend our Workshop, which will be held at beautiful Wiston house.
