Cells were discovered in the middle of the seventeenth century after the microscope was invented. , has begun the publication of an eighth title, Cancer Cell. An annual subscription to the new monthly and its accompanying Web site costs $99 for individuals in the U.S., $135 in Canada and $155 elsewhere.
