The Cell Surface

The Cell Surface is a highly multidisciplinary journal focused on cell surface and cell walls in all organisms that have macromolecular architecture beyond the plasma membrane.

- Bacteria
- Plants
- Algae
- Oomycetes
- Protozoa
- Fungi

The Cell Surface aims to bring together different communities to advance the knowledge of the cell surface, and specifically explores the interfaces between these disciplines.

We publish articles dealing with basic and applied biology on the mechanisms of: biosynthesis and degradation; structure and function; physico-chemistry; mechanical properties; regulation; genetics; biochemistry; and physiology of these extracellular polymers and polymer networks, including systems and synthetic biology approaches. The journal also accepts articles on aspects of the properties of plasma membranes in the specific context of the synthesis or organization of extracellular materials.

Articles on medical, immunological, ecological, evolutionary or biotechnological, drug/vaccine discovery aspects of the properties of cell walls and surfaces, extracellular cell surface and matrix components are welcome, including articles that describe important technological and methodological platforms.
