As a result of the significant disruption that is being caused by the COVID-19 pandemic we are very aware that many researchers will have difficulty in meeting the timelines associated with our peer review process during normal times. Please do let us know if you need additional time. Our systems will continue to remind you of the original timelines but we intend to be highly flexible at this time.

Featured article: Violet and blue light can halt bacterial growth
In a recent article published by BMC Molecular and Cell Biology, Najjar et al, demonstrate that bacterial cell growth can be stopped by standard violet (405 nm) and blue light (CFP) (445-457 nm), but is largely unaffected by green light (YFP). Please click the title to find out more.

Aims and scope
BMC Molecular and Cell Biology, formerly known as BMC Cell Biology, is an open access journal that considers articles on all aspects of both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cell and molecular biology, including structural and functional cell biology, DNA and RNA in a cellular context and biochemistry, as well as research using both the experimental and theoretical aspects of physics to study biological processes and investigations into the structure of biological macromolecules.

We are recruiting!
We are currently looking for new Associate Editors to join our team of academic editors, assessing manuscripts in the field of molecular and cell biology. We are particularly interested in hearing from researchers specializing in archaeal and prokaryote biology, protein folding or structure and function of macromolecules but all applications will be considered.
Journal Sections
Transcription and translation
Structure and function of macromolecules
Cell cycle and cell division
Signalling
Membrane processes/transport
Protein folding, proteasome, degradation
Cell death
Molecular basis of disease
Metabolism
Matthias Falk, Section Editor
Matthias Falk, PhD is Professor for Cell Biology in the Department of Biological Sciences at Lehigh University, USA. His research investigates the biosynthesis, structure and function of gap junctions, plasma membrane channels that provide direct cell-to-cell communication and physical cell-cell adhesion.
