About the journal
Tissue and Cell is devoted to original research in the organization of cells, their components and extracellular products at all levels. Emphasis is placed on biological aspects of cell structure, function and behavior, and primarily morphological accounts include substantial new information of general interest. Timely review articles on topics of particular interest, and accounts of new techniques and applications that deal with aspects of cell structure and function are invited.

The electronic abstract may be used to help select available reviewers.

Figure captions should be concise but informative, and should include a statement telling the reader why the figure is there or what question the experimental procedure answers. They should be listed on a separate sheet and placed at the end of the manuscript (after Tables, before Figures).
