We are proud to announce the planned launch of the eleventh Cell Press journal, Cell Host & Microbe, in March 2007. Our goal is to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and concepts between scientists studying the microbe with those studying the host immune and cell biological response upon colonization or infection by a microbe.
Currently accepting submissions
Aims and Scope Cell Host & Microbe will publish novel findings related to microbes (which includes bacteria, fungi, parasites and viruses) from molecular and cellular biology to translational studies with particular emphasis on the interface between the microbe and its host (vertebrate, invertebrate or plant). The unifying theme will be the integrated study of microbes (pathogenic, non-pathogenic and commensal) in conjunction and communication with each other, their host and the cellular environment they live in.
Cell Host & Microbe will consider papers covering aspects of basic and translational research related (but not limited) to: molecular and cell biology of microbes, microbial pathogenesis, host cellular and immune response to microbes, immune evasion, therapeutics, evolution and natural history of microbes, vaccine design and development, and emerging pathogens.
