Welcome to the inaugural issue of Nature Cell and Science (NCS), which sees The NCS take its rightful place in the scientific publishing community, positioned as the bridge between complex scientific research and the average scientist’s comprehension.

Scientists across the globe can testify to the challenges of accessing and understanding the latest scientific advancements published in high-tier journals. An unfortunate side effect of this situation is that research often remains confined within a limited sphere of specialized scientists. Recognizing this issue, NCS seeks to invite scientists who have published in these prestigious journals to reconsider their research for the wider scientific audience. We will extend an invitation to authors to elucidate their research on online social media platforms, aiming to simplify these complex studies and make them more accessible and comprehensible to average researchers. Our mission is to make cutting-edge science accessible and comprehensible to all scientists, irrespective of their field of expertise.

We are eager to serve scientists by rapidly and efficiently publishing significant advances across all scientific fields. Our focus is on originality, importance, interdisciplinary interest, timeliness, accessibility, elegance, and surprising conclusions. We also aim to serve as a platform for robust discussion and commentary on topical trends affecting the scientific community, thereby contributing to the vibrant discourse surrounding scientific issues. Moreover, we aim to quickly disseminate the outcomes of scientific endeavors to the public, underscoring the impact they have on knowledge, culture, and everyday life.

Our predilection for research inclusive of all biomedical disciplines, with a particular focus on oncology, neuroscience, immunology, genetics, and ophthalmology, remains a cornerstone of NCS’s vision. Translational research, bridging the often-chasmic gap between laboratory and bedside, will find a dedicated and enthusiastic audience here. We firmly believe that these efforts will help to advance understanding of disease pathogenesis at the molecular level.

We have designed our publication sections to cater to various categories of scientific expression, including original research articles, review articles, short communications, editorials, commentaries, and opinions. Furthermore, we welcome diverse topics within these sections, spanning numerous biomedical fields. The submitted articles will be subjected to a conventional peer-review process to ensure originality and to stimulate further research.

In conclusion, our primary aim is to serve as a platform that fosters understanding and bridges the gap between complex research and general comprehension. We encourage researchers and scientists to join us in this endeavor to broaden the scientific horizon for all. Your views, research, opinions, and experiences as scientists are integral to the success of this initiative.

Welcome to NCS, the journal that seeks to define and shape the future of open, accessible, and comprehensive scientific discourse and discovery. Let us come together and improve science communication, where complexity becomes captivating, and scientific understanding is within everyone’s reach.
