期刊介绍：
Cell Communication and Adhesion provides a central forum for the rapid publication of full-length manuscripts, short communications, reviews and conference reports of high quality, covering all aspects of receptor-based cell recognition and signaling. This includes research directed toward an understanding of the molecular basis of cell behavior as influenced by the interaction of cells with one another and with the extracellular environment, including extracellular matrix, cytokines and chemotactic factors.
This journal provides a single source of information concerning all forms of intercellular communication, intercellular junctions and families of adhesion receptors and counter receptors from diverse biological systems. Manuscripts will be accepted describing the role of intercellular signaling, junctions and adhesion pathways in pathological and normal processes, ranging from fundamental interactions in developing systems to immune- based recognition events and neuronal targeting.
Research documenting the effect of the cell surface environment including lipids, carbohydrates and associated proteins on receptor function is also suitable for the journal. Manuscripts should be consistent with the goal of providing the reader with a central source of high quality information required for molding new ideas and concepts related to cell communication and contact will be deemed appropriate. This includes work on signaling pathways and molecular aspects of gene regulation related to cell communication. The submission of manuscripts dealing with research of a biological and descriptive nature, as well as work having to do with the relationship of molecular structure and function, is also encouraged.
