Editorial – The good, the bad and the very useful – at least to cell biologists
Editor-in-Chief, Michael Way, discusses the exciting potential of examining the intimate relationship between pathogens, cells and hosts for cell biology research. Submissions are welcome for the fifth JCS Special Issue, guest edited by Derek Walsh, focussing on host-pathogen interactions.
Cell Science at a Glance – The fusogenic synapse at a glance
In their Cell Science at a Glance, Ji Hoon Jim and Elizabeth H. Chen highlight the molecular, cellular and biophysical events at the asymmetric fusogenic synapse.
Review – Force-generating mechanisms of anaphase in human cells
Kruno Vukušić, Renata Buđa and Iva M. Tolić review contributions of force-generating mechanisms, acting through different microtubule populations, to chromosome segregation in human cells.
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 Bouchra Khalaf, Bapi Sarker, Amrit Bagchi and Tak Shun Fung.
Mole – Impact! III
“Over the last five years, there were 1,141,540 papers published per year that were listed in PubMed. If you read them for 8 h per day, 5 days week, for 50 weeks year, you would have to read about ten papers a minute to read them all.”
Read Mole’s thoughts on the issue of impact in scientific literature.
