MBoC Publishes Special Issue
A new special issue of Molecular Biology of the Cell (MBoC) celebrates its first 20 years as the ASCB's science journal and focuses on the 2012 ASCB Annual Meeting. The November 1 issue includes essays by six recipients of 2012 ASCB Awards. In addition, a selection of Perspectives will address the two Thread topics that are woven through this year’s Annual Meeting.
Perspectives by David Botstein and by Peter K. Sorger and Birgit Schoeberl pertain to the Cell Biology and Medicine Thread.
Perspectives by Margaret L. Gardel and by Douglas N. Robinson and Pablo A. Inglesias pertain to the Thread on The Intersection of Cell Biology and the Physical Sciences.
An additional Perspective by Tom Pollard traces the history of ASCB’s political advocacy.
