Biology of the Cell (BoC) publishes papers in English on all aspects of Cellular and Molecular Biology and Cell Physiology. Of particular interest are contributions directed towards understanding structure-function relationships with respect to basic cell and tissue functions, development, neurobiology, immunology, microbiology and protistology, and plant biology. Theoretical and biophysical models on any aspect of cell function can be submitted. Descriptions of methods will be considered but their validity should be demonstrated by one or more applications.
To justify publication in BoC, manuscripts must make a significant contribution to our understanding of the mechanistic relationships that govern cellular functions.
