European Journal of Cell Biology, a journal of experimental cell investigation, publishes original papers on the structure, function and macromolecular organization of cells and cell components focussing on cellular dynamics, motility and differentiation, particularly if related to cellular biochemistry, molecular biology, immunology, neurobiology, and developmental biology. Manuscripts describing significant technical advances are also published as well as papers dealing with biomedical issues of general interest to cell biologists. Finally, contributions addressing cell biological problems in procaryotes and plants are considered. Review articles and minireviews are, as a rule, invited by the editors.
