Abstract

The Journal of Cell Communication and Signaling (JCCS) is dedicated to advancing understanding of how intracellular and extracellular signaling coordinate environmental sensing, gene regulation, and tissue homeostasis and how their dysregulation or misinterpretation contributes to disease. Reflecting on my first year as editor-in-chief, I am pleased to highlight the journal's continued progress and strategic development. Submissions, readership, and article diversity have grown steadily, driven by the commitment of authors, reviewers, editors, and publishing staff. JCCS remains selective yet inclusive in scope, emphasizing high-quality studies that illuminate signaling processes in health and disease. Ongoing initiatives to reduce decision times and enhance the expertise and global representation of our editorial and reviewer communities reinforce peer review as a rigorous collaborative enterprise. A key milestone ahead is the transition of JCCS manuscript handling to Wiley's Research Exchange (REX) platform, which integrates submission, integrity screening, and peer review within a unified system. This platform leverages artificial intelligence tools, metadata extraction, and ORCID integration to improve efficiency, transparency, and ethical oversight. Looking forward, JCCS aims to strengthen peer review, introduce special issues on emerging topics in cell communication, and foster greater international engagement to advance the field's scientific and collaborative frontiers.

下一代信号传导：为细胞通信与信号传导杂志出版物的未来提供动力。

《细胞通讯与信号学报》（JCCS）致力于促进对细胞内和细胞外信号如何协调环境感知、基因调控和组织稳态以及它们的失调或误解如何导致疾病的理解。回顾我担任总编辑的第一年，我很高兴地强调杂志的持续进步和战略发展。在作者、审稿人、编辑和出版人员的努力推动下，投稿、读者和文章多样性稳步增长。JCCS仍然具有选择性，但在范围上具有包容性，强调阐明健康和疾病信号过程的高质量研究。正在进行的减少决策时间和提高我们的编辑和审稿人社区的专业知识和全球代表性的倡议加强了同行评审作为一个严格的协作企业。未来的一个关键里程碑是JCCS手稿处理过渡到Wiley的研究交流（REX）平台，该平台将提交、完整性筛选和同行评审集成在一个统一的系统中。该平台利用人工智能工具、元数据提取和ORCID集成来提高效率、透明度和道德监督。展望未来，JCCS的目标是加强同行评议，介绍关于细胞通信新兴主题的特殊问题，并促进更多的国际参与，以推进该领域的科学和合作前沿。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Cell Communication and Signaling provides a forum for fundamental and translational research. In particular, it publishes papers discussing intercellular and intracellular signaling pathways that are particularly important to understand how cells interact with each other and with the surrounding environment, and how cellular behavior contributes to pathological states. JCCS encourages the submission of research manuscripts, timely reviews and short commentaries discussing recent publications, key developments and controversies. Research manuscripts can be published under two different sections : In the Pathology and Translational Research Section (Section Editor Andrew Leask) , manuscripts report original research dealing with celllular aspects of normal and pathological signaling and communication, with a particular interest in translational research. In the Molecular Signaling Section (Section Editor Satoshi Kubota) manuscripts report original signaling research performed at molecular levels with a particular interest in the functions of intracellular and membrane components involved in cell signaling.
