The "Microbial Cell" journal is dedicated to advancing knowledge in the field of microbiology, especially by studying single-celled and multicellular microorganisms to deeply understand the basic functions and pathological mechanisms of cells. This journal encourages scientists to explore the interactions between microbes and their hosts, including how pathogens affect the physiological processes of the host and how the host responds to microbial invasion.

In addition, the journal covers the application of microbes in biotechnology and medicine, such as using microbes for drug development, disease treatment, and bioremediation. By publishing cutting-edge research in these fields, it not only provides valuable resources for the academic community but also offers a scientific basis and innovative ideas for the development of the biotechnology and healthcare industries. The open-access policy ensures that research findings can be widely disseminated and utilized, promoting exchanges and cooperation among researchers worldwide and accelerating the transformation of scientific discoveries into practical applications. The peer-review process ensures that the published research is of high quality and reliability, providing readers with trustworthy scientific information.
