Elsevier. — 286 p. — ISSN 0092-8674. Журнал Cell — это не только первоклассное научное издание по молекулярной и клеточной биологии, не только источник научных новостей для научных журналистов, но и прекрасный популяризатор науки. Elucidating beauty in complexity is an achievement that rewards many biologists, and the existence of such complex elegance in natural systems is a prime reason that many of us are fascinated by the study of life. This review issue, commemorating 40 years of Cell, explores the complex beauty of biology along the lines of editorially selected themes that highlight the major trends and paradigm shifts that have defined molecular and cellular biology in recent decades. The light shining through polyester film in the cover art, Untitled, 2008 (detail) by artist Tara Donovan, evokes the illumination of complex beauty, mirroring the endeavors of the Cell community of readers, authors, reviewers, and editors.
