Have a paper that has been reviewed elsewhere? JCS is pleased to consider such manuscripts for fast-tracked decision making. Send us your manuscript together with the full set of reviews and decision letters, and we will make an initial decision within one week.
We invite you to submit your latest research to our upcoming special issue: Cell Biology of the Nucleus. This issue will be guest edited by Abby Buchwalter (University of California, San Francisco, USA), working alongside Academic Editor Megan King (Yale University, USA). The extended deadline for submitting articles is 5 January 2026.
Following the success of our 2023 Imaging Cell Dynamics meeting, we are delighted to announce that we’ll be hosting a second meeting on this topic in 2026. This meeting will provide a unique opportunity to bring together experts working at the interface between cell biology and imaging. Register here for more information and updates.
Carolyn M. Ott and Jennifer Lippincott-Schwartz discuss why the unique composition and geometry of cilia enables highly tunable, sensitive, robust and evolvable responses to environmental signals.
Dagmar Wachten and Søren Tvorup Christensen explore the primary cilium as a master regulator of cellular communication, integrating diverse signalling pathways to guide development and maintain homeostasis. Its dysfunction triggers over 30 disorders, offering new mechanistic insights and therapeutic opportunities.
