The American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) publishes two peer-reviewed scientific journals that support the advancement of cell biology research and life sciences education: Molecular Biology of the Cell (MBoC) and CBE—Life Sciences Education (LSE).
Molecular Biology of the Cell (MBoC)
Molecular Biology of the Cell (MBoC) is ASCB’s peer-reviewed research journal, publishing research across the broad field of cell biology, from biophysics and genetics to neuroscience. MBoC is committed to advancing cell biology through a rigorous and constructive peer-review process led by working scientists.
In addition to original research, MBoC publishes Special Issues focused on important and emerging areas of cell biology, as well as Features that explore ideas and issues in science and the scientific profession. Accepted manuscripts are made available rapidly through MBoC in Press.
