    Communications Biology published its first articles on January 22, 2018! To celebrate our 5-year anniversary we present a special collection of articles picked by the editors, our editorial board members and the press team, respectively. We have also interviewed some of our very first authors about their experience of the journal. Further, we link to a video where a few of our Section Lead board members talk about Communications Biology.

    One of the fundamental biological processes in life is the cell cycle leading from DNA replication to cell division. While it has been studied for decades and our knowledge has matured, sophisticated experimental approaches have rejuvenated the field. In addition, cell cycle regulators have emerged as cancer therapy targets. This collection showcases ground-breaking cell cycle papers and reviews, ranging from basic discoveries to clinical applications.

    One of our ongoing missions as a journal is to provide a platform for scientists from diverse backgrounds and disciplines to share their work and lived experiences. Here, our editors have curated a collection of interviews from our ongoing Q&A series, in which biologists at all career stages talk about their research, professional journeys, and other experiences.
