Aims & Scope

The importance of translatingoriginal, peer-reviewed research and review articles on the subject of cell therapy and its application to human diseases to societyhas led to the formation ofthe journalCell Medicine. To ensure high-quality contributions from all areas of transplantation, the same rigorous peer review will be applied to articles published in Cell Medicine. Articles may deal with a wide range of topics including physiological, medical, preclinical, tissue engineering, and device-oriented aspects of transplantation of nervous system, endocrine, growth factor-secreting, bone marrow, epithelial, endothelial, and genetically engineered cells, and stem cells, among others. Basic clinical studies and immunological research papers may also be featured if they have a translational interest. To provide complete coverage of this revolutionary field, Cell Medicine will report on relevant technological advances and their potential for translational medicine. Cell Medicine will be a purely online Open Access journal. There will therefore be an inexpensive publication charge, which is dependent on the number of pages, in addition to the charge for color figures. This will allow your work to be disseminated to a wider audience and also entitle you to a free PDF, as well as prepublication of an unedited version of your manuscript.

Cell Medicine features:

Original Contributions: Peer-reviewed, high-quality research investigations that represent new and significant contributions to science. Review Articles: Reviews of major areas in cellular transplantation. These may be of any length and are peer reviewed. Brief Communications: Timely and brief peer-reviewed studies. Letters to the Editor: Readers' comments on journal articles and other matters of interest to transplant researchers. Announcements and News: Notices of upcoming meetings, conferences, seminars, and other events of interest to those in the field.

Submission Requirements: From the beginning of November 2009, authors are requested to submit the original manuscript (and revised manuscript if needed) via our ManuscriptCentral websiteat http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/cogcom-ct.

Please include a cover letter, specifying your intent to submit to Cell Medicine, as well as containing the name, address, telephone, and fax number, and electronic mail address of the author responsible for correspondence. Follow the General Form guidelines below to prepare the manuscript, figures, and tables.

At the time of submission you will be asked to confirm that you will pay the relatively inexpensive open access fees ($900 for less than 5 pages, $1800 for 5-12 pages and +$75 for each additional page) when billed. In addition, there are sections for detailing any conflicts of interest and financial support and that you (as corresponding/submitting author) have the permission of the other authors to submit the manuscript. You will be given the option of which section of the editorial office to submit to. Here you would select Cell Medicine.

There will also be a $105 submission fee.

On receipt of your manuscript, it will be checked to ensure that it is correctly formatted.

When the manuscript is accepted for publication, the author(s) will be required to provide two hard copies of the manuscript, two high-quality copies of all artwork, and a CD or disk (no zip disks) (see Final Accepted Manuscript/Disk below). Information on where to mail the final hard copy, figures, and CD/disk will be provided in an acceptance letter. Manuscripts are accepted for consideration with the understanding that they have not been published elsewhere except in abstract form and are not concurrently under review elsewhere.
