Applied Cell Biology

An Interdisciplinary Journal for Every Researcher

About the Journal

Applied Cell Biology is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal dedicated to publishing high-quality research that explores the structure, function, and applications of cells in health, disease, and biotechnology. The journal bridges the gap between basic cellular science and applied research, serving as a collaborative hub for scholars across life sciences, medicine, and technology.

In today’s scientific ecosystem, discoveries in one field often inform breakthroughs in others. Whether you’re a molecular biologist, clinician, biotechnologist, microbiologist, or pharmacologist, Applied Cell Biology offers a platform where your work transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries — and reaches researchers across the globe.

Interdisciplinary Impact: Connecting Science Across Disciplines

In modern science, cell biology is the central language spoken across countless domains. Applied Cell Biology serves as an academic space where researchers from diverse backgrounds can discover, learn, and collaborate through shared cellular insights.

From Molecules to Medicine – Your Research in Broader Context

·         An oncologist studying tumor metabolism may reveal targets relevant to autoimmune therapy.

·         A stem cell researcher may provide insights valuable to neurologists and bioengineers.

·         A microbiologist investigating pathogens may influence vaccine development or cancer immunotherapy.

By publishing in Applied Cell Biology, your findings become more than field-specific discoveries — they become cornerstones for innovation across sectors.

Cross-Pollination of Ideas

This journal encourages:

·         Clinicians to access cellular discoveries for diagnostics or treatments

·         Biotechnologists to translate molecular insights into real-world applications

·         Pharmacologists to better understand drug mechanisms at the cellular level

·         Environmental scientists to assess cell responses to pollutants, toxins, or climate factors

Our interdisciplinary readership ensures your work will resonate across academic, clinical, and industrial audiences.
