Aims and Scope:
Since its launch in October 2000, Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology has become the leading monthly review journal in the field of molecular and cell biology. With its extraordinary breadth and depth of coverage, the journal provides a unique resource of information, opinion and commentary for a wide spectrum of readers, providing them with the essence of cutting-edge molecular and cell biology research.

All Reviews, Perspectives and progress articles are carefully commissioned, written by leaders in the field, and subject to rigorous peer-review - which results in timely and authoritative articles. In addition, articles are edited and the diagrams redrawn by professional art editors, which makes for highly readable, visually attractive articles that are accessible to specialists and non-specialists alike. Each issue also contains Research Highlights - short pieces that provide critical summaries of significant recent research papers. Non-specialist readers will also benefit from the glossary and highlighted references.

Readership: Researchers of all levels - from laboratory heads to students, and those who teach molecular and cell biology, biochemistry and structural biology subjects.
