'Open' option for authors now available
Cell Research now offers authors the option to publish their articles with immediate open access upon publication. Open access articles will also be deposited in PubMed Central at the time of publication and will be freely available immediately. Find out more from our FAQs page.
Epigenetics and Chromatin
Epigenetic control refers to the control of expression of genetic information at levels other than the DNA sequence itself, and plays fundamental roles in biological processes such as cell fate determination, development, and disease pathogenesis. The March 2011 Special Issue on Epigenetics & Chromatin brings us a collection of authoritative reviews on diverse topics in this rapidly evolving field. The accompanying web focus presents additional links to related articles in this area from across Nature Publishing Group.
NF-κB Signaling
The NF-κB pathway plays an important role in regulating diverse biological processes, including the immune response, inflammation, cell growth and survival, and development. Deregulation of the NF-κB pathway leads to diseases such as autoimmunity and cancer. The January 2011 special issue on NF-κB signaling brings our understanding of this important pathway up-to-date, focusing on the NF-κB signaling mechanisms and their role in physiology and diseases. The accompanying web focus presents links to related articles from across Nature Publishing Group to provide more background information about the pathway.
