Cancer Cell International publishes articles on all aspects of cancer cell biology, originating largely from, but not limited to, work using cell culture techniques. Read more here.
- MicroRNA-144 inhibits cell proliferation, migration and invasion in human hepatocellular carcinoma by targeting CCNB1
- Systematically profiling the expression of eIF3 subunits in glioma reveals the expression of eIF3i has prognostic value in IDH-mutant lower grade glioma
- The lncRNA TDRG1 promotes cell proliferation, migration and invasion by targeting miR-326 to regulate MAPK1 expression in cervical cancer
Cell Division is an open access, peer-reviewed journal, which publishes articles in areas including, but not limited to, molecular aspects of cell cycle control and cancer, cell growth, proliferation, survival, differentiation, signalling, gene transcription, protein synthesis, genome integrity, chromosome stability, centrosome duplication, DNA damage and DNA repair.
- IMP/GTP balance modulates cytoophidium assembly and IMPDH activity
- Eg5 orchestrates porcine oocyte maturational progression by maintaining meiotic organelle arrangement
- Subunits of human condensins are potential therapeutic targets for cancers
- Kif18a regulates Sirt2-mediated tubulin acetylation for spindle organization during mouse oocyte meiosis
Cell Communication and Signaling is an open access journal that encompasses all basic and translational aspects of cellular communications and signaling pathways in normal and pathological conditions. Genetic and epigenetic changes, cell-cell, cell-environment and cell-pathogen interactions often modulate or even override programmed patterns of cell behaviour. Cell signaling is therefore not only critical for normal cell growth and development, but abnormal signals are associated with numerous human diseases.

Journal Relaunch
BMC Molecular and Cell Biology, formerly known as BMC Cell Biology, is an open access journal that considers articles on all aspects of both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cell and molecular biology, including structural and functional cell biology, DNA and RNA in a cellular context and biochemistry, as well as research using both the experimental and theoretical aspects of physics to study biological processes and investigations into the structure of biological macromolecules.

Watching cancer cells take over
New advances in imaging methods allow scientists to watch living cells exist, mutate, and divide in real time. A new article featured in Cell Division explains how this new methodology was devised.

3D visualization of extracellular vesicle uptake by endothelial cells
Extracellular vesicles are small vesicles that contain cytoplasmic and membrane components from their paternal cells. They enter target cells through uptake to transfer their biological cargo. In this study, the authors from Cellular & Molecular Biology Letters investigated the process of endothelial EV internalization and created a 3D visualization of their intracellular distribution. The 3D visualization allows the determination of a more accurate location of EVs relative to the donor cell nucleus.
