History

Benjamin Lewin founded Cell. He then bought the title and established an independent Cell Press in 1986. The company spun off new journals as follows: Neuron in March 1988; Immunity in April 1994; and Molecular Cell in December 1997. Benjamin Lewin left in October 1999, after having sold Cell Press to Elsevier the previous April.

Since that time, Cell Press has launched a number of new titles: Developmental Cell in July 2001; Cancer Cell in February 2002; Cell Metabolism in January 2005; Cell Host & Microbe in March 2007; Cell Stem Cell in July 2007; Cell Systems in July 2015; Heliyon 2015; Chem in July 2016; Joule in September 2017; iScience in March 2018; and One Earth in September 2019. Cell Genomics was added in 2021.[1]

Meanwhile, three additional Elsevier journals have joined the Cell Press group:
