Intramembrane proteolysis at a glance: from signalling to protein degradation
In this Cell Science at a Glance article and accompanying poster, Nathalie Kühnle, Verena Dederer and Marius K. Lemberg review our current knowledge on the function of intramembrane proteolysis in mammalian cells.
Meeting report – Cell dynamics: organelle–cytoskeleton interface
Binyam Mogessie, Helen Zenner and Jörg Renkawitz summarise the Journal of Cell Science’s second meeting that was held in Lisbon, Portugal, earlier this year.
Mole – Impact!
"We love to speculate that if a paper is completely wrong, it will receive a great many citations saying how wrong it is (actually, I don't think this is true; if it's wrong, we tend to just fuggetaboutit)."
Read Mole’s thoughts on the issue of impact in scientific literature.
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 Eric Clement Arakel, Alex Generous, Taylor Miller, Robert Bloodgood and Roger Sloboda, and Rachel Caines.
Journal of Cell Science announces Transparent peer review
In the interests of promoting transparency around the editorial process, Journal of Cell Science will now be publishing a ‘Peer review history’ file alongside published papers, where the author has opted in to such a file being published. All research papers submitted on or after 1 August 2019 are eligible. More information can be found here.
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.
preLights - Single molecule mechanics resolves the earliest events in force generation by cardiac myosin
Alyson Smith highlights a preprint that captures the fastest events in myosin’s ATPase cycle, which have remained opaque to previous assays.
Catch up with other recent preLights selected for the cell science community.
