Three New Journals from Landes Bioscience.Landes Bioscience (Austin, TX) has begun the publication of three new journals for the biology and biotechnology fields, including "Cell Adhesion Cellular adhesion is the binding of a cell to another cell or to a surface or matrix. Cellular adhesion is regulated by specific adhesion molecules that interact with molecules on the opposing cell or surface. & Migration," "Prion prion (prī`ŏn), infectious agent thought to cause a group of diseases known as prion diseases or transmissible spongiform encephalopathies. " and "Channels." Online access to the journals is free through 2007. "Cell Adhesion & Migration" will be published quarterly and is described as the first international journal to focus exclusively on cell-cell and cell-extracellular interactions and their biological consequences of adhesion and migration. Launched in January,, it covers biological functions and molecular interactions of molecules, cell fusion cell fusion n. The nondestructive merging of the contents of two cells by artificial means, resulting in a heterokaryon that will reproduce genetically alike, multinucleated progeny for a few generations. , immune synapse synapse (sĭn`ăps), junction between various signal-transmitter cells, either between two neurons or between a neuron and a muscle or gland. A nerve impulse reaches the synapse through the axon, or transmitting end, of a nerve cell, or neuron. formation, and pathological conditions such as cancer cell migration or degenerative diseases. An annual print/online subscription costs $129 for individuals and $1400 for institutions. Also published quarterly, "Prion" is an international journal that focuses on protein folding and mis-folding, protein assembly disorders, and protein-based and structural inheritance. It covers such topics as molecular tumors, protein genes, computational simulations, prion propagation, disease aggregation, and infectious propagation. An annual print/online subscription costs $109 for individuals and $900 for institutions. "Channels" is an international journal that covers all aspects of ion channel ion channel n. See channel. and ion transporter/exchanger function. Content includes information on such topics as ion distribution and ion current regulation. It will be published six times a year and an annual subscription costs $129 for individuals and $1400 for institutions. Landes publishes 10 other journals for biology professionals, including "RNA RNA: see nucleic acid. RNA in full ribonucleic acid One of the two main types of nucleic acid (the other being DNA), which functions in cellular protein synthesis in all living cells and replaces DNA as the carrier of genetic Biology," "Epigenetics" and "Cancer Biology & Therapy." |
