細胞分子生物學(MBoC)是由美國細胞生物學學會(ASCB)主辦的網絡期刊，每月出版兩次。未經編輯的已接受稿件可通過MBoC出版社立即免費獲得。最終出版版本在www.molbiolcell.org上發布兩個月后即可免費訪問。MBoC也可以通過PubMed Central在線獲得，該網站由美國國家醫學圖書館贊助。可以通過訂閱或成為ASCB的成員在兩個月之前訪問。MBoC范圍MBoC出版研究文章和論文，報告原始研究的結果，并在細胞生物學、遺傳學和發育生物學的所有領域內，提出具有廣泛興趣和意義的概念進展。特別鼓勵提交涉及細胞和發育生物學若干領域的論文。MBoC發表的文章全面描述了重大的研究進展。因此，作者應在提交的稿件中包括所有以前未發表的數據和方法，這些數據和方法對支持所得出的結論至關重要。MBoC不,一般而言,發布文章中狹窄的范圍和更適合更多的專業期刊,只是確認或部分完成或不完全記錄研究的初步報告,結果還不確定的意義,或者報告,簡單文檔知名過程生物體或細胞類型而不是以前的研究。只有在取得了具有生物學意義的新結果，或采用新方法將大大加快某一領域的進展時，才會審議提交報告的新方法。值得注意的是，MBoC非常重視那些對重要細胞過程具有廣泛興趣或深入機制理解的概念性進展的研究文章。因此，除非有支持體內相關性或廣泛意義的信息，否則一般不會考慮主要描述特定轉錄因子的行為或修飾，或分析它們相互作用的啟動子元素的文章。

Molecular Biology of the Cell (MBoC) is an online journal published twice monthly and owned by the American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB). Unredacted accepted manuscripts are freely accessible immediately through MBoC In Press. Final published versions are freely accessible two months after publication at www.molbiolcell.org. MBoC is also available online through PubMed Central, sponsored by the U.S. National Library of Medicine. Access earlier than two months is available through subscription or membership in the ASCB.Scope of MBoCMBoC publishes research articles and essays that report the results of original research and present conceptual advances of broad interest and significance within all areas of cell biology, genetics, and developmental biology. Manuscript submissions whose scope bridges several areas of cell and developmental biology are particularly encouraged. MBoC publishes articles that describe substantial research progress in full. Therefore, authors should include with their manuscript submissions all previously unpublished data and methods essential to support the conclusions drawn. MBoC does not, in general, publish articles that are narrow in scope and better suited to more specialized journals, merely confirmatory or preliminary reports of partially completed or incompletely documented research, findings of as yet uncertain significance, or reports that simply document well-known processes in organisms or cell types not previously studied. Submissions that report new methodologies will be considered only when a new result of biological significance has been achieved or when introduction of the method will significantly accelerate progress within a field.Note that MBoC places a premium on research articles that present conceptual advances of wide interest or deep mechanistic understanding of important CELLULAR processes. As such, articles dealing principally with describing behavior or modification of specific transcription factors, or analysis of the promoter elements through which they interact, will not generally be considered unless accompanied by information supporting in vivo relevance or broad significance.
