Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The Journal of Cell Communication and Signaling publishes research on intercellular and intracellular signaling pathways that regulate cellular processes in health and disease. Articles focus on how these signaling networks coordinate environmental sensing, gene regulation, and tissue homeostasis, and how their dysregulation contributes to various pathologies. The journal covers topics such as metabolic regulation, inflammatory responses, stress adaptation, and the roles of specific signaling molecules and pathways in diseases like cancer, cardiovascular disorders, and neurovascular conditions.
