Cellular Microbiology aims to publish significant contributions on the intersection of microbial and host-cell biology that strongly advance understanding of unique biological processes and mechanisms.
The scope includes the host cell responses and interactions elicited by prokaryotic, viral and eukaryotic microorganisms that illuminate exploitation of host cell structures, function and signaling pathways, and may include modulation or alteration of immune responses. Mechanistic insight obtained through robust biochemical, genetic, cellular, and bioimaging technologies are expected to support observational data.
In addition to mammalian and plant systems, papers addressing other hosts such as invertebrate systems are encouraged. Because viruses are inherently dependent upon the host cell, virology-based submissions to Cellular Microbiology should advance knowledge of the interaction of viruses and host cells.
TopNews and Announcements
NIH-funded authors and Cellular Microbiology
From April 2008, the NIH is mandating grantees to deposit their accepted manuscripts in PubMed Central, to be made publicly available within 12 months of publication (http://publicaccess.nih.gov/FAQ.htm#general).
The NIH mandate applies to all articles based on research that has been wholly or partially funded by the NIH and that are accepted for publication on or after April 7, 2008. For papers accepted for publication in Cellular Microbiology after this date Wiley-Blackwell will post the accepted version of articles by NIH grant-holders to PubMed Central upon acceptance by the journal. This accepted version will be made publicly available in PubMed Central 12 months after publication.
If authors wish to make their final published article openly accessible and without embargo, they can choose to publish via the OnlineOpen service (http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/static/onlineopen.asp).
