Join us December 14-18, 2024 in San Diego, California for Cell Bio 2024, the joint meeting of ASCB and the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO). This is your opportunity to network with scientists, present your research, explore the exhibit hall, and learn the latest cell biology science and technology.
ASCB Statement Regarding U.S. Supreme Court Rulings on University Admissions Policies
The leadership of the American Society for Cell Biology regrets the decisions by the United States Supreme Court, released on June 29, 2023, prohibiting universities from including the race of an applicant as part of their admissions policies. Science realizes a great deal from the richness of thought and experience that diversity offers. Not only…

Introducing Significance Statements and Badges to MBoC articles
MBoC has been piloting the use of structured Significance Statements and visual Badges in our Preprint Highlights since 2022. We are now ready to introduce these objects to regular articles in MBoC, providing readers with additional context and providing authors with the added value of broader accessibility of their work. Starting this week, authors of…
U.S. and India Reach Visa-related Agreements
During a State Visit to the United States by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Modi and President Joseph Biden reached three important agreements that, when fully implemented, could positively benefit the ability of foreign biomedical researchers to travel to the United States. International investigators have been facing long delays obtaining visas to come to the…
MBoC Preprint Highlights are moving to ASCB.org
ASCB’s journal Molecular Biology of the Cell (MBoC) has been highlighting preprints since March 2022. Now, for the project’s next phase, MBoC Preprint Highlights are migrating to a new home on ASCB.org. As we detail in a recent Editorial in the journal, we were pleased to see that preprint curation provided value for readers and…
Preprint Highlight: TPPP Forms Liquid Condensates and Aggregates in Multiple System Atrophy
Oligodendrocytes extend the plasma membrane surrounding axons with myelin sheaths. To accomplish this, oligodendrocytes rely on Golgi outposts, a compartment able to nucleate new microtubules in distal regions of the cell. However, how oligodendrocyte microtubule nucleation might contribute to neurodegeneration remains unclear. The authors study tubulin polymerization promoting protein (TPPP), a protein previously shown to…
Molecular Biology of the Cell (MBoC)
Molecular Biology of the Cell (MBoC) is a premier journal for research in all areas of cell biology, from biophysics to genetics to neuroscience. Its 14 online issues per year include Special Issues in the important areas of Quantitative Cell Biology, and Forces on and within Cells. Readers and authors alike benefit from the journal’s review process, which offers authors constructive feedback by working scientists.
CBE—Life Sciences Education (LSE)
CBE—Life Sciences Education (LSE) is a peer-reviewed journal of life science education research and evidence-based practice published by the ASCB in editorial partnership with the Genetics Society of America and partially funded by Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Online and completely free, LSE emphasizes teaching innovations and evidence of their effectiveness and is designed for educators at all levels and across all life science disciplines.
