Cell Communication and Signaling

Cell Communication and Signaling (CCS) is an open access journal that encompasses all basic and translational aspects of cellular communications and signaling pathways in normal and pathological conditions. The journal encourages submissions of original papers, review papers, short reports, and commentaries pertaining to both eukaryotic and prokaryotic intracellular and intercellular signal transduction, including but not limited to:

• Signal transduction by protein-protein interactions and modular domains
• Post-translational modification of proteins and epigenetic modification of nucleic acids
• Mechanisms of cell transformation, metastasis, senescence, and aging
• Homeostatic and pathophysiological mechanisms of disease progression
• Mechanisms of viral and bacterial pathogenesis and virulence factors

In addition, reflecting journal’s affiliation with the International Cell Death Society, CCS welcomes submissions in all aspects of cell
death, which includes:  

• Apoptotic and non-apoptotic mechanisms of cell death
• Cell death in model systems
• Autophagy
• Clearance of dying cells
• Immunological and pathological consequences of dying cells in the tissue microenvironment

At Cell Communication and Signaling, we are passionate about the dissemination of research.

We are pleased to announce that as of the 12th August 2019, all authors whose papers are accepted will receive a complimentary Video Byte.

Created by our partners, Research Square, the fastest growing preprint platform in the world, a Video Byte is a 1-2 minute video summary of a paper that will be incorporated into the abstract of the paper and published on the journal website. Authors will also receive a shareable version of their Video Byte.

Integration into the article page makes your research more accessible to a wide variety of audiences and disciplines. Telling the story of your work in easy-to-understand terms means greater understanding and impact of your research.

Additionally, Video Bytes are also posted on the Research Square preprint platform and OER commons; the team at Research Square is pursuing additional ways to share and disseminate your work. Articles on Microbiome with an associated video saw an increase of 168% in article views, 143% increase in citations, and 161% increase in Altmetric scores compared to articles without videos.
