A summary of author benefits

Cell Death & Disease is the official online journal of the "Associazione Differenziamento e Morte Cellulare" (ADMC) and the sister journal of Cell Death & Differentiation. ADMC is committed to publishing high quality, independently peer-reviewed research and review material.

The journal is published in partnership with Nature Publishing Group (NPG), which uses pioneering technologies, innovative formats and world-class production to provide premium information for scientific researchers in the public and private sectors, government agencies and educators.
