Join us for Cell Bio 2024, the joint meeting of ASCB and the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO). This is your opportunity to network with scientists, present your research, explore the exhibit hall, and learn the latest cell biology science and technology.
“Interactomes” for Cell Biologists—Building Your Professional Network
The word “networking” may have stuffy connotations, but it concisely describes building relationships with peers and colleagues. Having a network of friends and mentors to provide advice and support has been invaluable throughout my scientific training. Nevertheless, I have sometimes found networking difficult, particularly before I felt established in my chosen field. With Cell Bio…

In Memoriam: Donald D. Brown (Dec. 1931 – May 2023)
A trail-blazer in the study of genes Don Brown who served as the American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) President in 1992 has passed away. Don purified the first eukaryotic gene before the era of DNA cloning, using ultracentrifugation to enrich the amplified ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes from oocytes of the frog Xenopus. This feat…
Preprint Highlight: Competition and Synergy of Arp2/3 and Formins in Nucleating Actin Waves
While it is known that two classes of actin nucleators, Arp2/3 and formins, regulate F-actin assembly, it remains unclear how their activities are coordinated to carry out diverse cellular functions. This study examines cortical actin waves in mast cells and finds that formin and Arp2/3-dependent nucleation of actin filaments is controlled by competing interactions with…
Political Pressure Puts Longstanding Science Agreement in Jeopardy
Anti-China political rhetoric along with increased examples of Chinese theft of scientific information are calling into question a science and technology cooperation agreement between the United States and China. The agreement, which is renewed every five years, was first signed in 1979 by U.S. President Jimmy Carter and Chinese Premier Deng Xiaoping. The agreement has…
Molecular Biology of the Cell (MBoC)
Molecular Biology of the Cell (MBoC) is a premier journal for research in all areas of cell biology, from biophysics to genetics to neuroscience. Its 14 online issues per year include Special Issues in the important areas of Quantitative Cell Biology, and Forces on and within Cells. Readers and authors alike benefit from the journal’s review process, which offers authors constructive feedback by working scientists.
CBE—Life Sciences Education (LSE)
CBE—Life Sciences Education (LSE) is a peer-reviewed journal of life science education research and evidence-based practice published by the ASCB in editorial partnership with the Genetics Society of America and partially funded by Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Online and completely free, LSE emphasizes teaching innovations and evidence of their effectiveness and is designed for educators at all levels and across all life science disciplines.
