''The Journal of Cell Biology'' is an international, peer-reviewed journal owned by The Rockefeller University and published by The Rockefeller University Press. == History == In the early 1950s, a small group of biologists began to explore intracellular anatomy using the emerging technology of electron microscopy. Many of these researchers were at The Rockefeller Institute of Medicine, the predecessor of The Rockefeller University. As their work progressed to publication, they were disappointed with the limited quality of halftone image reproduction in the printed journals of the time, and frustrated by the narrow editorial policies of existing journals regarding their image-based results. In 1954, the Director of the Rockefeller Institute, Detlev Bronk, convened a luncheon to discuss the creation of a new journal as a venue for publication of this type of work. The first issue of ''The Journal of Biophysical and Biochemical Cytology'' was published less than a year later on January 25, 1955. A subscription cost $15 per year. The list of editors comprised Richard S. Bear, H. Stanley Bennett, Albert L. Lehninger, George E. Palade, Keith R. Porter, Francis O. Schmitt, Franz Schrader, and Arnold M. Seligman. The instructions to authors described the scope of the journal, "''The Journal of Biophysical and Biochemical Cytology'' is designed to provide a common medium for the publication of morphological, biophysical, and biochemical investigations on cells, their components, and their products. It will give special attention to reports on cellular organization at the colloidal and molecular levels and to studies integrating cytological information derived from various technical approaches." Recognizing that they needed a catchier title, the editors changed the name to ''The Journal of Cell Biology'' ("JCB") in 1962. The discipline of cell biology emerged and developed on the pages of the JCB. Many seminal discoveries have been published in the journal, including the first descriptions of numerous cellular functions and structures, such as the secretory pathway,〔http://jcb.rupress.org/cgi/content/abstract/4/5/557, http://jcb.rupress.org/cgi/content/abstract/7/4/619, http://jcb.rupress.org/cgi/content/abstract/20/3/473, http://jcb.rupress.org/cgi/content/abstract/34/2/577, http://jcb.rupress.org/cgi/content/abstract/34/2/597, http://jcb.rupress.org/cgi/content/abstract/50/1/135〕 mitochondrial〔http://jcb.rupress.org/cgi/content/abstract/19/3/593, http://jcb.rupress.org/cgi/content/abstract/19/3/613〕 and chloroplast DNA, microtubules,〔http://jcb.rupress.org/cgi/content/abstract/18/2/367, http://jcb.rupress.org/cgi/content/abstract/19/1/239〕 intermediate filaments, tight junctions (including occludins and claudins), adherens junctions,〔 and cadherins. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Journal of Cell Biology」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
