Special
Call for Papers
American Journal of Physiology - Cell Physiology
Topic: Perspectives in Cell Physiology
The American Journal of Physiology - Cell
Physiology recently began a new category of article to disseminate new
and original lines of thinking in the cell physiology arena. These short
articles go beyond the scope of invited reviews and should present original
ideas that can be derived from our current knowledge base. Some Perspectives
articles may challenge current dogma and will be considered for publication
based on the scientific merit of the argument presented. These Perspective
articles will be subject to peer review. Some articles will be invited, but
unsolicited articles are welcome. These articles should be about 1,500 words
long, excluding references, and may include two figures.
The authors should indicate in a cover letter that their
manuscripts are submitted in response to this special call for papers. If
sufficient interest in this new category of articles is generated, then this
will become a permanent feature of the journal.
Please contact the Editor-in-Chief, Dennis Brown, by e-mail
for further information (ajpcell@rcn.com).
Topic: Protein and Vesicle Trafficking
The American Journal of Physiology - Cell Physiology is soliciting
manuscripts in the area of intracellular protein and vesicle trafficking.
Many hereditary and acquired human diseases involve defects in processes
that normally lead to the correct addressing, packaging and delivery of
functionally important proteins to their correct intracellular locations.
Such processes include protein folding and quality control mechanisms, Golgi
transport and posttranslational modifications, assembly of vesicle coats and
the involvement of GTPases and their regulatory proteins, interaction of
vesicles with microtubules and the actin cytoskeleton, vesicle fusion via
SNARE proteins and tethering proteins, and membrane protein recycling via
endocytosis and exocytosis. While basic cell biological studies will be
considered, studies that relate cellular and molecular observations with
physiological consequences are especially welcome.
The authors should indicate in a cover letter that their manuscript is
submitted in response to this special call for papers, and they should
select "Protein and vesicle trafficking, cytoskeleton" as the submission
category using the button on the APSCentral website.
Please contact the Editor-in-Chief, Dennis Brown, by e-mail for more
information (ajpcell@rcn.com).
