Memoirs: Notes on Elasmobranch Development

We are pleased to announce that the winner of the 2021 JCS Prize is Lee Dolat for his paper entitled ‘An endometrial organoid model of interactions between Chlamydia and epithelial and immune cells’.

Last year, 47% of the manuscripts published in Journal of Cell Science were posted as preprints on bioRxiv. You can find our preprint policies here.

Journal of Cell Science interviewed Christian Münch, who established his independent research group in 2016 at Goethe University Frankfurt. His lab studies cellular stress responses to mitochondrial protein misfolding, infection and disease, as well as developing proteomics methods.

In this Hypothesis article, Thanh Ngoc Nguyen and Michael Lazarou reconcile prior observations of the core ATG8 system into a unifying model of their function that aims to consider apparently conflicting discoveries.

We are excited to announce the launch of the FocalPlane Network, an international directory of microscopists. The idea behind the FocalPlane Network is to facilitate promotion and networking as well as assist those seeking conference speakers, committee members, reviewers or collaborators. We hope that it will help promote diversity in the community. Find out more and join the Network here.
