Cell debuts design changes and expanded scientific coverage

Cambridge, December 2, 2005- Cell, a scientific journal published by 
Elsevier imprint Cell Press, has launched a new section, called Leading 
Edge, which adds pages of analysis, commentary, and essays to the popular 
review formats-which include full reviews, minireviews, and previews-in 
each issue.

The new design maintains the journal's classic look while incorporating 
features including an updated typeface, illustrations and graphics with a 
consistent style, and more color throughout.

"The Leading Edge section will feature in-depth analytical articles by 
science writers, and essays and commentaries by eminent scientists," Cell 
Editor Emilie Marcus explains. "In a time of increasing scientific 
specialization, we feel a responsibility to support the progress of 
science by promoting interdisciplinary communication. All of our content 
and design changes will support these goals while maintaining Cell's 
reputation for high standards of research and communicating conceptual 
scientific advances."

The changes debut in the December 2, 2005 issue, which is freely available 
online, at <http://www.cell.com/content/issue?volume=123&issue=5>
