Aims & Scope
Cell Communication and Signaling (CCS) is a peer-reviewed and open access scientific journal that publishes original research, reviews and commentaries with a focus on cellular signaling pathways in normal and pathological conditions. CCS encourages reports of studies incorporating molecular, morphological, biochemical, structural and cell biology approaches, as well as interdisciplinary work and innovative in silico, in vitro and in vivo models that facilitate investigations of cell signaling pathways, networks and cell behaviour. Beginning in January of 2019, Cell Communication and Signaling (CCS) is pleased to announce their affiliation with the International Cell Death Society. The journal encourages submissions in all aspects of cell death, that include apoptotic and non-apoptotic mechanisms of cell death, cell death in model systems, autophagy, clearance of dying cells, as well as the immunological and pathological consequences of dying cells in the tissue microenvironment.
