Cell and Tissue Research

Cell and Tissue Research is a professional journal in cell biology published by Springer. It was founded in Germany in 1924 under the title Zeitschrift für Zellforschung und mikroskopische Anatomie, took its present name in 1974 and has published in English only since, and marked one hundred years of publication in 2024. It is the longest running journal in this field that remains in continuous publication and is issued monthly rather than quarterlyCell and Tissue Research 是 Springer 出版的细胞生物学专业期刊，1924 年在德国以 Zeitschrift für Zellforschung und mikroskopische Anatomie 之名创刊，1974 年改用现名并改为仅以英文出版，2024 年迎来创刊一百周年，是该领域历史最悠久且仍在持续发行的专业刊物，现为月刊而非季刊。^[1]

Editors of the journal in its earlier decades included Klaus Unsicker and Horst Werner Korf. Unsicker served as coordinating editor from 1996 until stepping down in 2024 and was a key figure in maintaining the journal's standing in neuroendocrinology该刊早期的编者包括克劳斯·温西克与霍斯特-维尔纳·科尔夫等人，其中温西克自 1996 年起担任协调主编直至 2024 年卸任，是该刊在神经内分泌学领域保持影响力的关键人物。

Scope

• The journal is positioned as a scholarly forum for molecular, cell and supracellular biology, publishing original articles and reviews, and it especially encourages submissions that emphasise structure and function relationships revealed by recombinant molecular technologies期刊定位为分子、细胞与超细胞生物学的学术论坛，发表原创研究论文与综述，特别鼓励以重组分子技术揭示结构与功能关系的稿件。

• At the centre of its purpose is a forum for publishing data that analyse the supracellular, integrative actions of gene products and their impact on the formation of tissue structure and function其办刊核心是提供一个发表平台，用于分析基因产物的超细胞整合性作用，以及这些作用对组织结构与功能的形成所产生的影响。

• Areas of research with a long standing tradition in the journal include neurobiology, neuroendocrinology, endocrinology, reproductive biology, the skeletal and immune systems, development, stem cells and muscle biology长期以来的传统收稿领域包括神经生物学、神经内分泌学、内分泌学、生殖生物学、骨骼与免疫系统、发育生物学、干细胞与肌肉生物学。

• The journal also covers invertebrate research, cardiac and skeletal muscle, extracellular matrix, stem and progenitor cells, disease mechanisms, and molecular and cell biology, and it regularly organises themed special issues期刊还关注无脊椎动物研究、心肌与骨骼肌、细胞外基质、干细胞与祖细胞、疾病机制以及分子与细胞生物学等分支，并经常组织专题专刊。

• As a hybrid journal it offers free access to a portion of its content, while authors may opt to pay an article processing charge for fully open access作为混合开放获取刊物，读者可免费阅读部分文章，作者则可选择支付文章处理费以获得完全开放获取的版本。

The subjects listed above together express the orientation of the journal. Its concern is not the isolated detail of a single molecule or a single cell, but how gene products integrate at the tissue level and shape structure and function. The combination of a tradition in tissue anatomy with molecular techniques has given the journal a readership in interdisciplinary fields such as neuroendocrinology and reproductive biology that other cell biology titles find hard to matchScope 章节所列主题共同体现了该刊的取向：它关注的不是单一分子或单一细胞的孤立细节，而是基因产物如何在组织层面整合并塑造结构与功能。组织解剖学传统与分子技术的结合，使其在神经内分泌与生殖生物学等交叉领域形成了其他细胞生物学刊物难以替代的读者群。

History

• 1924: Founded in Germany under the title Zeitschrift für Zellen- und Gewebelehre by Goldschmidt, von Möllendorff, Bauer and Seiler. It later appeared as Zeitschrift für Zellforschung und mikroskopische Anatomie and was originally a multilingual journal publishing in German, French and English1924 年： 以 Zeitschrift für Zellen- und Gewebelehre 之名在德国创刊，创始人为 Goldschmidt、von Möllendorff、Bauer 与 Seiler，后曾以 Zeitschrift für Zellforschung und mikroskopische Anatomie 之名发行，最初为德文、法文与英文的多语种刊物。

• 1974: Renamed Cell and Tissue Research and switched to publishing in English only, in order to improve international reach and citation coverage1974 年： 正式更名为 Cell and Tissue Research 并改为仅以英文出版，以提升国际可读性与引用覆盖面。

• 1996: Klaus Unsicker became coordinating editor and held the post for nearly three decades until 2024, during which the journal's influence in neuroendocrinology grew steadily1996 年： 克劳斯·温西克出任协调主编，任职近三十年直至 2024 年，其间该刊在神经内分泌学领域的选题影响力持续上升。

• 2024: The journal marked one hundred years of publication with a special anniversary issue reviewing milestones such as Kupffer cells, the coining of the concept of the peptidergic neuron, and early achievements in neuroendocrinology2024 年： 迎来创刊一百周年，出版方组织百年纪念专刊，回顾了克普弗细胞、肽能神经元概念的创立与神经内分泌学早期成果等里程碑。

• 2025: Calls for papers continued to be issued for areas including connexins, innexins and pannexins from structure to physiology, cardiac and skeletal muscle, and neurogenesis, while the journal held a stable third-tier CAS ranking in biology2025 年： 出版方针对连接蛋白与泛连接蛋白的结构与生理、心肌与骨骼肌、神经发生等方向持续发布征稿启事，期刊影响力稳定在中科院分区生物学三区。

The history section shows a trajectory typical of German scientific journals, in which a single fundamental change of language and positioning was made only half a century after founding. The centenary issue of 2024 is organised around the history of cell biology, indicating that the editors treat historical depth as part of the journal's scholarly standingHistory 章节显示该刊沿革带有典型的德国科学期刊特征，即在创刊半个世纪之后才完成一次根本性的语言与定位调整。2024 年的百年特刊以细胞生物学史为主线，说明编辑部倾向于把历史纵深视为期刊学术声誉的组成部分。
