Edited By: Julian Guttman
Cytoskeleton is a cell biology journal encompassing all aspects of the cytoskeleton and associated proteins. The scope covers mammals, plants, insects, and eukaryotic and prokaryotic microbes, with a focus on pure protein analysis, in vitro cell culture analysis, in vivo analysis, and modelling.
We welcome a broad range of research from cell and molecular biologists, biochemists, biophysicists, and more, including experimental and theoretical articles, reviews, perspectives, techniques, and procedures.
