Cellular & Molecular Biology Letters was founded in 1996 and transferred to BioMed Central in 2016. Previously, its publishers were Walter De Gruyter in 2015 (content available from De Gruyter's archive), and Springer from 2006–2014 (content available from BMC web page). Articles published between 1996 and 2005 can be found at www.cmbl.org.pl, CMBL home page, the Volume List tab. To request free electronic versions of these articles, please contact cmbl@cmbl.org.pl.
The papers in this collection were specially invited by the editors and represent work by leading researchers in their fields, as well the authors of the most cited papers from the previous issues of our journal (CMBL).
