Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology (ISSN 1471-0080) is a leading monthly review journal (Impact Factor for 2004 of 33.17) published by Nature Publishing Group. As its title suggests, it covers a broad range of topics and helps to combine two distinct disciplines: in its traditional sense, ?molecular biology? refers to study of the macromolecules essential to life [e.g nucleic acids and proteins]; the field of cell biology is a natural extension of this, integrating what we know at the molecular level into an understanding of processes and interactions at the cellular level. By combining both fields it is possible to understand how cells divide, grow, communicate and die.
