Cell publishes reports of novel results in any area of experimental biology.
The work should be not only of unusual significance within its field but also of interest to researchers outside the immediate area. Papers should be as concise as possible. Each figure should consist of a single high-quality print ready for scanning and reduction to fit the printed page of the journal. Papers that do not fit these criteria will be returned to the authors. Four copies of each manuscript should be provided as well as a word processor file of the text.
