Most-cited papers in Molecules and Cells

Sirt1 and the Mitochondria

Bor Luen Tang · 1 Feb 2016

Sirt1 is the most prominent and extensively studied member of sirtuins, the family of mammalian class III histone deacetylases heavily implicated in health span and longevity. Although primarily a nuclear protein, Sirt1's deacetylation of Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor Gamma Coactivator-1α (PGC-1α) has been extensively implicated in metabolic control and mitochondrial biogenesis, which was proposed to partially…

Current Understanding of RANK Signaling in Osteoclast Differentiation and Maturation

Jin Hee Park, Na Kyung Lee, Soo Young Lee · 1 Oct 2017

Osteoclasts are bone-resorbing cells that are derived from hematopoietic precursor cells and require macrophage-colony stimulating factor and receptor activator of nuclear factor-B ligand (RANKL) for their survival, proliferation, differentiation, and activation. The binding of RANKL to its receptor RANK triggers osteoclast precursors to differentiate into osteoclasts. This process depends on RANKL-RANK signaling, which is temporally…

Small RNAs: Classification, Biogenesis, and Function

V. Narry Kim · 1 Feb 2005

Eukaryotes produce various types of small RNAs of 19-28 nt in length. With rapidly increasing numbers of small RNAs listed in recent years, we have come to realize how widespread their functions are and how diverse the biogenesis pathways have evolved. At the same time, we are beginning to grasp the common features and rules…

Molecules and Cells template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Molecules and Cells format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Molecules and Cells template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Springer Nature format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Molecules and Cells use?
Molecules and Cells uses Superscript numbered (Nature) references, shown as superscript numerals in the text.

Molecules and Cells 12, 45–58 (2023).
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Molecules and Cells?
No. DocuGuru generates the sn-jnl LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Springer Nature-ready Molecules and Cells 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 Molecules and Cells template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Molecules and Cells format with correct headings, figures, tables, and superscript citations.
Who publishes Molecules and Cells?
Molecules and Cells is a multidisciplinary journal published by Springer Nature. DocuGuru's Molecules and Cells template matches Springer Nature's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Molecules and Cells PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Molecules and Cells template (the sn-jnl class) that is ready to submit to Springer Nature, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Molecules and Cells template cost?
You can start writing in the Molecules and Cells template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Molecules and Cells PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
