Most-cited papers in Journal of Molecular Cell Biology

The lysosome: from waste bag to potential therapeutic target

Hanna Appelqvist, Petra Wäster, Katarina Kågedal et al. · 1 Aug 2013

Lysosomes are ubiquitous membrane-bound intracellular organelles with an acidic interior. They are central for degradation and recycling of macromolecules delivered by endocytosis, phagocytosis, and autophagy. In contrast to the rather simplified view of lysosomes as waste bags, nowadays lysosomes are recognized as advanced organelles involved in many cellular processes and are considered crucial regulators of…

Ribosomal proteins: functions beyond the ribosome

Xiang Zhou, Wenjuan Liao, Jun‐Ming Liao et al. · 3 Mar 2015

Although ribosomal proteins are known for playing an essential role in ribosome assembly and protein translation, their ribosome-independent functions have also been greatly appreciated. Over the past decade, more than a dozen of ribosomal proteins have been found to activate the tumor suppressor p53 pathway in response to ribosomal stress. In addition, these ribosomal proteins…

Adiponectin, the past two decades

Zhao V. Wang, Philipp E. Scherer · 18 Mar 2016

Adiponectin is an adipocyte-specific factor, first described in 1995. Over the past two decades, numerous studies have elucidated the physiological functions of adiponectin in obesity, diabetes, inflammation, atherosclerosis, and cardiovascular disease. Adiponectin, elicited through cognate receptors, suppresses glucose production in the liver and enhances fatty acid oxidation in skeletal muscle, which together contribute to a…

MicroRNAs in NF- B signaling

Xiaodong Ma, Lindsey E. Becker Buscaglia, James R. Barker et al. · 18 Apr 2011

Nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) is a transcriptional factor that regulates a battery of genes that are critical to innate and adaptive immunity, cell proliferation, inflammation, and tumor development. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short RNA molecules of 20-25 nucleotides in length that negatively regulate gene expression in animals and plants primarily by targeting 3' untranslated regions of…

CHK2 kinase in the DNA damage response and beyond

Laura Zannini, D Delia, Giacomo Buscemi · 17 Nov 2014

The serine/threonine kinase CHK2 is a key component of the DNA damage response. In human cells, following genotoxic stress, CHK2 is activated and phosphorylates >20 proteins to induce the appropriate cellular response, which, depending on the extent of damage, the cell type, and other factors, could be cell cycle checkpoint activation, induction of apoptosis or…

Journal of Molecular Cell Biology template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Journal of Molecular Cell Biology format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Journal of Molecular Cell Biology template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Oxford University Press format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Journal of Molecular Cell Biology use?
Journal of Molecular Cell Biology uses Author–year (OUP) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, A., Jones, B. and Lee, C. (2023) 'A representative article title', Journal of Molecular Cell Biology, 12(3), pp. 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Journal of Molecular Cell Biology?
No. DocuGuru generates the oup-authoring-template LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Oxford University Press-ready Journal of Molecular Cell Biology document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Journal of Molecular Cell Biology template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Journal of Molecular Cell Biology format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Journal of Molecular Cell Biology?
Journal of Molecular Cell Biology is a multidisciplinary journal published by Oxford University Press. DocuGuru's Journal of Molecular Cell Biology template matches Oxford University Press's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Journal of Molecular Cell Biology PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Journal of Molecular Cell Biology template (the oup-authoring-template class) that is ready to submit to Oxford University Press, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Journal of Molecular Cell Biology template cost?
You can start writing in the Journal of Molecular Cell Biology template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Journal of Molecular Cell Biology PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
