Cancer Cell Skills
<p align="center"> <img src="assets/cover.svg" alt="Cancer Cell (Cell Press) journal cover" width="220"> </p>
English | 简体中文
Agent skill stack for manuscripts targeted at Cancer Cell (Cell Press) — a leading journal for molecular and translational oncology, covering tumor biology, cancer genetics and genomics, the tumor microenvironment, immuno-oncology, and clinical-translational cancer research.
This repository is opinionated. It is not a generic "biomedical writing" toolbox. It is a Cancer Cell-specific stack built around the journal's defining demand: a clear molecular mechanism validated across orthogonal systems (cultured cells, in vivo models, and ideally human / patient data), reported with STAR Methods rigor, and framed for translational relevance without overclaiming.
Durable norms only. This pack deliberately avoids volatile specifics (named editors, exact word/figure caps, fees, impact factor). Always verify current requirements on the official Cell Press / Cancer Cell author pages and the live STAR Methods guidelines before submitting.
Why a Separate Cancer Cell Skill Stack?
Cancer Cell imposes constraints that differ materially from broad-scope journals and from clinical-trial journals like JAMA:
| Constraint | Cancer Cell | Implication |
|---|---|---|
| Discipline | Molecular / translational oncology (not clinical-trial reporting) | Pure descriptive omics or a single cell-line story is off-fit |
| Core demand | Mechanism plus translational relevance | "Interesting correlation" without mechanism reads as incremental |
| Validation | Orthogonal systems: cells + in vivo + human tumor data | Conclusions from one system are routinely rejected |
| Rigor | STAR Methods + Key Resources Table mandatory | Unauthenticated cell lines / undefined n are desk-level flags |
| Reproducibility | Cell-line authentication, mycoplasma testing, antibody validation | Missing these is a reviewer-punished gap |
| Animal work | IACUC approval + ARRIVE-style reporting, randomization, blinding | "n mice" with no power/allocation detail invites rejection |
| Statistics | n defined as biological replicates; correct tests; error bars | Pseudo-replication and undefined error bars are common rejections |
| Data / code | Deposition: GEO / SRA (sequencing), PRIDE (MS), PDB (structures) | "Data available on request" is not acceptable |
| Format | Cell Press structure: Summary, Highlights, eTOC, graphical abstract | Not an IMRaD clinical template |
| Claims | Therapeutic claims require in vivo and/or human validation | Overstated translational claims are a signature reviewer target |
Generic "scientific writing" packs do not encode these Cell Press and Cancer Cell specifics.
