Cell Systems

Cell Systems publishes research that uses systems-level approaches to understand biological phenomena across all scales, from molecular pathways and cells to tissues, organisms, and populations.《细胞系统》（Cell Systems）发表利用系统层面方法理解各尺度生物学现象的研究，从分子通路与细胞到组织、生物体和种群。

Scope

The journal's stated aim is to publish work that reveals general principles of biological systems, with its official scope covering:刊物官方宗旨为发表揭示生物系统一般原理的研究，官方声明的征稿范围包括：

• Systems at all scales: research on biological systems spanning molecules, pathways, cells, tissues, whole organisms, populations, and ecosystems, with an emphasis on quantitative and integrative studies that reveal general principles.各尺度系统： 横跨分子、通路、细胞、组织、整个生物体、种群与生态系统的生物系统研究，强调揭示一般原理的定量与整合性研究。
• Disciplinary coverage: work across microbiology, cancer biology, immunology, plant biology, computational biology, genomics, proteomics, and systems and synthetic biology, provided it adopts a systems-level perspective.学科覆盖： 涵盖微生物学、癌症生物学、免疫学、植物生物学、计算生物学、基因组学、蛋白质组学以及系统与合成生物学等方向的工作，但需采用系统层面视角。
• Quantitative and integrative approaches: studies that combine experimental data with mathematical modelling, machine learning, network analysis, or other computational methods to generate predictive understanding of biological systems.定量与整合方法： 将实验数据与数学建模、机器学习、网络分析或其他计算方法相结合，以生成对生物系统预测性理解的研究。
• Translational and applied systems: work on translational medicine, digital healthcare, and biological engineering that applies systems-level understanding to address clinical or technological challenges.转化与应用系统： 将系统层面理解应用于解决临床或技术挑战的转化医学、数字医疗与生物工程方向的工作。
• Article types: original research articles, reviews, perspectives, and resource articles, with a particular welcome for quantitative integrative studies that reveal general principles of systems.栏目设置： 接受原创研究论文、综述、观点与资源文章，特别欢迎揭示系统一般原理的定量整合性研究。

History

• Founding: the journal was launched in 2015 by Cell Press as a dedicated venue for systems biology research that bridges experimental and computational approaches across biological scales.创刊： 该刊 2015 年由细胞出版社创刊，作为系统生物学研究的专门平台，衔接横跨生物尺度的实验与计算方法。
• Editorial model: from its launch the journal has been led by professional in-house editors with doctoral backgrounds in systems biology, supported by an academic advisory board of active researchers.编辑模式： 自创刊起该刊即由具备系统生物学博士背景的专业内部编辑领导，并得到由活跃研究者组成的学术顾问委员会支持。
• Field development: over its first decade the journal has grown alongside the systems biology field, reflecting the increasing integration of quantitative methods, omics data, and machine learning into biological research.学科发展： 在创刊后的第一个十年里，该刊伴随系统生物学领域共同发展，反映了定量方法、组学数据与机器学习在生物学研究中日益深入的整合。

Editors

The journal follows the in-house editorial model of Cell Press, with professional editors rather than a single academic editor-in-chief handling peer review and publication decisions:该刊采用细胞出版社的内部编辑模式，由专业编辑而非单一学术主编负责同行评审与发表决定：

• Editor-in-chief: Bernadett Gaál, who leads the in-house editorial team and oversees the journal's scope and editorial direction across the systems biology field.主编： 贝尔纳黛特·加尔（Bernadett Gaál），领导内部编辑团队，监督刊物在系统生物学领域的范围与编辑方向。
• In-house editorial team: the journal is managed by professional in-house editors, each with a doctoral background in a systems biology-related field and responsibility for a defined subject area within the journal's scope.内部编辑团队： 该刊由专业内部编辑团队管理，每位编辑均具备系统生物学相关领域博士背景，负责刊物范围内一个特定学科方向。
• Review model: submissions are first assessed by an in-house editor for fit and novelty, and those that pass are sent for external peer review before a final editorial decision is made.评审模式： 投稿先由内部编辑评估适配性与新颖性，通过者送外部同行评审后再做最终编辑决定。
