Cell Motility and the Cytoskeleton is an international journal published twelve times a year specializing in the rapid publication of articles concerning all phenomena related to cell motility, including structural, biochemical, biophysical, and theoretical approaches. In addition to extended reports of original research, the journal will also publish invited review articles, mini-reviews, views and reviews, brief rapid communications, and book and film reviews. Topics of interest will include molecular architecture; supramolecular structure; cell shape; interactions of motile systems (e.g., tubulin- and actin-based systems); interactions of cytoskeletal proteins; non-motile roles of motile or cytoskeletal proteins; biochemical, biophysical, and molecular aspects of cytoskeletal proteins and related controlor binding-proteins; genetics and molecular biological approaches to the study of motility and/or the cytoskeleton; the pathology of motile behavior and the cytoskeleton; nuclear-cytoplasmic transport and interchange; membrane structure and receptor transport; action of drugs on motility and the cytoskeleton; prokaryotic flagellar motility; prokaryotic gliding motility; changes in organelle shape (axostyles, costae); microtubule gliding and particle transport; axonal transport; reticulopodial movement in foraminifera, radiolaria; targeted intracellular particle transport; actin-based particle transport; bulk cytoplasmic streaming (in protists, plant, animal, and fungal cells); amoeboid motility; movement of tissue cells in vitro or in vivo; endo- and exocytosis; spreading of platelets, tissue cells; morphogenetic movements; the role of motile and cytoskeletal proteins in development; the nuclear matrix; intranuclear movements; mitotic movements (e.g., kinetochore, centrosomes, and particles); cytokinesis; muscular contraction; cytoplasmic contractility; spasmoneme and myoneme contraction; eukaryotic flagellar and ciliary movement; the centriole, centrosome, and flagellar rootlet derivatives.
