Aims and Scope:

Cell Death & Differentiation is a journal devoted to the cell biology, molecular biology and biochemistry of cell death and differentiation, both in normal tissue regulation and in disease. To this end, Cell Death & Differentiation provides a unified forum for scientists as well as clinicians. It is committed to the rapid publication of high-quality original papers that relate to these subjects, together with topical, usually solicited, reviews, meeting reports, editorial correspondence and occasional commentaries on controversial and scientifically informative issues.

Readership:
Scientists and clinicians with an interest in programmed cell death, differentiation and death induced by toxic agents in different eukaryotic models.

Cell Death & Differentiation provides devotion to the cell biology , molecular biology and biochemistry of cell death and differentiation in the following formats:

• Reviews - commissioned from leaders in the field, Reviews vary in length depending on the topic addressed. All reviews are supplemented with glossary explanations and highlighted references that are accompanied by an explanation as to why these references are essential reading.
• Research Highlights - These short articles highlight exciting primary articles published in Cell Death & Differentiation on a monthly basis.
• Meeting Reports
• Original Articles - high-quality, peer-reviewed, authoritative research across the discipline of cell biology, molecular biology, and biochemistry.
• Commentaries - a popular forum for provocative debate which gives experts a means by which to discuss, consider, and argue their cases.
• Letters to the Editor -correspondence between readers, authors, and the community. Letters to the editor deal with subjects that have recently been addressed in the journal or can introduce new topics.
