International Journal of Cell
A premier open-access platform for rigorous cellular research, molecular mechanisms, and translational discoveries that advance our understanding of life at the cellular level.
Our Mission: Illuminating the Cellular Foundation of Life
The International Journal of Cell (IJC) stands at the forefront of cellular and molecular biology research, dedicated to publishing groundbreaking discoveries that deepen our understanding of cellular mechanisms, signaling pathways, and molecular interactions. As a peer-reviewed, open-access journal, IJC provides a global platform for researchers to share innovative findings that bridge fundamental biology with clinical applications.
Our commitment extends beyond traditional publishing. We foster a collaborative scientific community where cellular biologists, molecular scientists, geneticists, and translational researchers converge to address fundamental questions about cell structure, function, regulation, and disease mechanisms. Through rigorous peer review and rapid dissemination, IJC accelerates the translation of cellular insights into therapeutic interventions.
Published by Open Access Pub, IJC upholds the highest standards of scientific integrity, editorial excellence, and open science principles. We embrace transparency, reproducibility, and ethical research practices, ensuring that published work meets international standards while remaining freely accessible to the global scientific community.
