Journal of Cell Science is pleased to welcome submissions for consideration for an upcoming special issue, Cell Biology of Motors. The deadline for submitting articles has been extended to 30 August 2022.

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 caught up with Jeremy Carlton, who established his independent research group in 2012 at the Division of Cancer Studies, King's College London. His lab is currently seconded to the Francis Crick Institute and is investigating membrane and organelle remodelling during cell division. This year, he was awarded the Hooke Medal by the British Society for Cell Biology (BSCB).
