Hedgehog-stimulated stem cells depend on non-canonical activity of the Notch co-activator Mastermind

We are welcoming submissions for our upcoming special issue: Cilia and Flagella: from Basic Biology to Disease. This issue will be coordinated by two Guest Editors: Pleasantine Mill (University of Edinburgh) and Lotte Pedersen (University of Copenhagen). Extended submission deadline: 31 March 2025.

As our publisher, The Company of Biologists, turns 100 years old, read about Journal of Cell Science’s journey and explore the history of each of our sister journals: Development, Journal of Experimental Biology, Disease Models & Mechanisms and Biology Open.

In this Editorial, JCS Editor-in-Chief Michael Way welcomes five new Associate Editors to the JCS team. These Associate Editors will expand our support for the wider cell biology community and handle articles in immune cell biology, proteostasis, imaging and image analysis, plant cell biology, and stem cell biology and modelling.

In this Cell Science at a Glance article, Emma van Grinsven and Anna Akhmanova provide an overview of the diverse microtubule arrays present in differentiated animal cells and discuss how these arrays form and function.

Early-career researchers - working in an area covered by JCS - who would like to attend a microscopy training course, please apply. Deadline dates for 2025 applications: 7 March 2025 (decision by week commencing 21 April 2025) and 6 June 2025 (decision by week commencing 28 July 2025).
