PREFACE
Cell News is on-line!
Dear colleagues,
We are very happy that the second online-only issue of CellNews can now be communicated not only to all members of the DGZ, but
to the entire scientific community. The DGZ board as well as our scientific advisors decided that the switch to the electronic format
would be timely and necessary. I am sure you will all enjoy reading CellNews online from now on. In this issue, two young scientists
introduce themselves, we advertise the program of our International Meeting and tell you more about previous DGZ meetings.
The journal and our scientific meetings will stay our main tasks in the future. In other words: it is all about communicating science!
We are, therefore, very happy that we can confirm the organisation of a number of excellent meetings in 2014, which are running
under der label of the DGZ. We also wish to thank all meetings organisors, who finalized the organisation of their meetings with
terrific speakers from Germany, Europe and overseas in time and despite the tight budget of the society. Please look at our an-
nouncements and mark the deadlines for your favourite meeting.
We are certainly looking forward to meeting you all in Regensburg at our International Meeting in March. A thrilling and stimulating
scientific program waits for you in one of the most beautiful cities of Germany!
Best wishes to all of you, Merry Christmas and an excellent New Year 2014!
Oliver Gruss
