Cell Host & Microbe was launched in March 2007. The journal's mission is to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and concepts between scientists studying the microbe with those studying the host immune, cell biological, and molecular response upon colonization or infection by a microbe.

Cell Host & Microbe will publish novel findings related to microbes (which includes bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses) from molecular and cellular biology to translational studies with particular emphasis on the interface between the microbe and its host (vertebrate, invertebrate, or plant; unicellular or multicellular). The unifying theme is the integrated study of microbes (pathogenic, non-pathogenic, and commensal) in conjunction and communication with each other, their host, and the cellular environment they inhabit. Work published in Cell Host & Microbe is expected not only to be of exceptional significance within its field, but also of interest to researchers outside the immediate area. In addition to primary research manuscripts, Cell Host & Microbe will publish expert analysis, commentary, and reviews on topics of current interest in the field.

Cell Host & Microbe 于 2007 年 3 月推出。该期刊的使命是为研究微生物的科学家与研究微生物定植或感染后宿主免疫、细胞生物学和分子反应的科学家提供一个交流思想和概念的论坛。

Cell Host & Microbe 将发表与微生物（包括细菌、真菌、寄生虫和病毒）相关的新发现，从分子和细胞生物学到转化研究，特别强调微生物与其宿主（脊椎动物、无脊椎动物或植物；单细胞或多细胞）之间的界面。统一的主题是综合研究微生物（致病性、非致病性和共生性）之间的相互作用和交流，以及它们与宿主及其栖息的细胞环境之间的相互作用和交流。Cell Host & Microbe 上发表的论文不仅有望在其领域内具有特殊意义，而且还将引起该领域以外研究人员的兴趣。除了主要研究手稿外，Cell Host & Microbe 还将发表针对该领域当前感兴趣主题的专家分析、评论和评论。
