Cell and Tissue Research
Encyclopedia
Cell and Tissue Research presents regular articles
and reviews in the areas of molecular, cell
, and supracellular biology
. In particular, the journal
provides a forum for publishing
data that analyze the supracellular, integrative actions of gene
products and their impact on the formation of tissue
structure and function. Articles emphasize structure–function relationships as revealed by recombinant
molecular technologies
. The coordinating editor of the journal is Klaus Unsicker.
Cell and Tissue Research had a 2009 impact factor
of 2.308.

Article (publishing)
An article is a written work published in a print or electronic medium. It may be for the purpose of propagating the news, research results, academic analysis or debate.-News articles:...
and reviews in the areas of molecular, cell
Cell (biology)
The cell is the basic structural and functional unit of all known living organisms. It is the smallest unit of life that is classified as a living thing, and is often called the building block of life. The Alberts text discusses how the "cellular building blocks" move to shape developing embryos....

Gene
A gene is a molecular unit of heredity of a living organism. It is a name given to some stretches of DNA and RNA that code for a type of protein or for an RNA chain that has a function in the organism. Living beings depend on genes, as they specify all proteins and functional RNA chains...

Tissue (biology)
Tissue is a cellular organizational level intermediate between cells and a complete organism. A tissue is an ensemble of cells, not necessarily identical, but from the same origin, that together carry out a specific function. These are called tissues because of their identical functioning...
