Stepping into the role of Editor‐in‐Chief of the Journal of Cell Communication and Signaling

I am deeply honored to have been appointed as the new Editor‐in‐Chief (EiC) of the Journal of Cell Communication and Signaling (JCCS). As I step into this role of EiC, I look forward to continuing collaborating with the dedicated readership, expert reviewers, editorial board members, and the publisher of the journal to advancing knowledge in research on cell communication and signaling governing key biochemical and physiological processes both in normal and pathological conditions. JCCS remains dedicated to publishing cutting‐edge research, while continuously expanding the range of submissions and refining the review and editorial processes to ensure a more inclusive and impactful scientific contribution. I would like to thank the founder of JCCS and my predecessor EiC, Prof. Bernard Perbal and his right hand Annick Perbal for their enormous contribution to JCCS, and their crucial role shaping the Journal into a platform that welcomes innovative research and enhances our understanding of cellular communication networks in health and diseases and for steering us safely over the last two decades through the increasingly challenging scientific publication landscape. In this editorial, I share some of my reflections, ideas, acknowledgments, and aspirations for the future of the journal.
