Biology of the Cell is a peer-reviewed scientific journal in the field of cell biology, cell physiology, and molecular biology of animal and plant cells, microorganisms and protists. Topics covered include development, neurobiology, and immunology, as well as theoretical or biophysical modelling.
The journal is currently published monthly by Wiley-Blackwell on behalf of the Société Française des Microscopies and the Société de Biologie Cellulaire de France.[https://biologie-maroc.com/biologie-cellulaire/ Osborne HB.

History
The journal first appeared in 1962 and was originally titled Journal de Microscopie (1962–1974). In 1975 the journal was retitled Journal de Microscopie et de Biologie Cellulaire ({{ISSN|0395-9260}}; 1975–1976).[http://journalseek.net/cgi-bin/journalseek/journalsearch.cgi?field=issn&query=0395-9260 JournalSeek: Journal de Microscopie et de Biologie Cellulaire] (accessed 23 October 2007) It was later retitled Biologie Cellulaire ({{ISSN|0399-0311}}; 1977–1980), becoming Biology of the Cell in 1981.[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=Journals&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=8316 NCBI Journals: Biologie cellulaire] (accessed 23 October 2007)[http://www.vjf.cnrs.fr/ial/English/facilities/bibliotheque/le_catalogue.htm Institut André Lwoff: Library's Catalog] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070105172828/http://www.vjf.cnrs.fr/ial/English/facilities/bibliotheque/le_catalogue.htm |date=January 5, 2007 }} (accessed 23 October 2007)
