The topics of Cell biology, Molecular biology, Biochemistry, Signal transduction and Microtubule are the focal point of discussions in the journal. Molecular Biology of the Cell focused on Cell biology research but expanded to cover Cytoskeleton. It features studies on Cytoskeleton, including topics such as Actin cytoskeleton.
The Molecular biology research presented in the journal explores the relationship between Phosphorylation and the closely related topic of Kinase. Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Endoplasmic reticulum, Membrane protein and Mutant are all topics related to Biochemistry research discussed. The discussions emphasized the topic of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in an attempt to further explore the field of Yeast.
The journal explores topics in Microtubule which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Spindle apparatus and Mitosis. Some problems in Endosome that were presented in Molecular Biology of the Cell overlapped with concepts under Endocytic cycle and Endocytosis. Most of the Actin studies addressed also intersect with Myosin.
The most cited articles primarily focus on research topics in Cell biology, Biochemistry, Molecular biology, Signal transduction and Endosome. The published papers focus on Cell biology but sometimes tackle the closely related topic of Cytoskeleton which is concerned with Actin. The studies on Molecular biology discussed at the most cited publications can also contribute to research in the domains of Integrin and Phosphorylation.
The main points discussed in Molecular Biology of the Cell deals with Cell biology, Biophysics, Microtubule, Cell and Actin. The study on Cell biology presented is investigated in conjunction with research in Cytoskeleton. While Biophysics is the focus of it, it also provided insights into the studies of Membrane, Fluorescence and Yeast.
The work on Microtubule presented in the journal focuses on Dynein in particular. Discussions in it are anchored in the subject of Kinase and the similar topic of Phosphorylation.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in Molecular Biology of the Cell (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Molecular Biology of the Cell (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2021 edition, 1.33% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 25.11% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 13.90% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 19.73% of all publications and 41.26% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

(2021)Exploring Biology and Biochemistry in the USA opens up diverse career pathways that often intersect with health, research, and counseling fields. For those interested in psychological applications, pursuing a masters in child psychology online offers an affordable way to advance expertise in developmental sciences, complementing biological knowledge.
Similarly, students aiming to support mental health more broadly can consider masters in therapy programs. These degrees prepare graduates for clinical roles that often require an understanding of biological effects on behavior and wellness.
Beyond counseling, a growing area is health systems management. An online healthcare administration degree equips students to lead in hospital and healthcare organizations, where biology and biochemistry inform key operational decisions.
Finally, for those with a focus on pure science or applied biological fields, reviewing biology careers highlights well-paying roles that leverage a strong foundation in biology. These diverse online degree options provide flexible pathways to bridge academic interests with practical career goals.
