    We highlight tumour metastasis with a Series of commissioned Reviews, an Editorial and a selection of relevant research articles and comments published in Nature Cell Biology. Tumour metastasis is a rapidly evolving field, with implications for understanding fundamental cancer biology and designing improved therapeutic strategies.

    Metabolism has a central role in cellular and organismal growth, survival and development. Imbalances in metabolic pathways have also been linked to diseases such as cancer and obesity. Nature Cell Biologypresents a series of review articles published in the journal over several months, covering various aspects of this diverse field. An accompanying online library presents research papers on this topic published in the past two years fromNature Cell Biologyand other Nature journals.

    Cells are exposed to both internal and external threats against the integrity of the genome. DNA damage and incorrect chromosome segregation can have deleterious effects such as cell death and uncontrolled proliferation. Therefore, multiple mechanisms are in place to ensure the surveillance and maintenance of genome integrity. Current topics in this exciting and active field have been discussed by leading scientists in a series of Reviews published in Nature Cell Biologyover the past months. These are accompanied by a library of related research articles published recently inNature Cell Biologyand other Nature journals.

    Cancer is a disease of deregulated cellular behaviour. Oncogenic alterations endow cancer cells with properties that allow them to hijack normal cellular processes resulting in unlimited proliferation, evasion of death signals and spread to distant sites through the process of metastasis. Nature Cell Biologypresents a series of review and perspective articles published over several months, in which leading scientists discuss recent advances and challenges in cancer cell biology. An accompanying online library presents related research papers fromNature Cell Biologyand other Nature journals.
