Aim and Scope


Cell Communication and Signaling, the official journal of the Signal Transduction Society, is an open access, peer-reviewed, online 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.
