Cell Press was founded and is currently based in Cambridge, MA, and has offices across the United States, Europe, and Asia under its parent company Elsevier.

== History == Benjamin Lewin founded ''Cell''. He then bought the title and established an independent Cell Press in 1986. The company spun off new journals as follows: ''Neuron'' in March 1988; ''Immunity'' in April 1994; and ''Molecular Cell'' in December 1997. Benjamin Lewin left in October 1999, after having sold Cell Press to Elsevier the previous April.

Since that time, Cell Press has launched a number of new titles: ''Developmental Cell'' in July 2001; ''Cancer Cell'' in February 2002; ''Cell Metabolism'' in January 2005; ''Cell Host & Microbe'' in March 2007; ''Cell Stem Cell'' in July 2007; ''Cell Systems'' in July 2015; ''Heliyon'' 2015; ''Chem'' in July 2016; ''Joule'' in September 2017; ''iScience'' in March 2018; and ''One Earth'' in September 2019. ''Cell Genomics'' was added in 2021.<ref>{{cite web |title=Archive: Cell Genomics |url=https://www.cell.com/cell-genomics/archive |website=www.cell.com |access-date=15 February 2022}}</ref>

Meanwhile, three additional Elsevier journals have joined the Cell Press group: ''Current Biology'' launched in January 1996, which became part of Cell Press in early 2001; ''Structure'' launched in 1993, which merged with the journal ''Folding & Design'' in early 1999. At that point, the name changed to ''Structure with Folding & Design'' but reverted to ''Structure'' at the beginning of 2001, when the journal joined Cell Press. ''Cell Chemical Biology'' (formerly titled ''Chemistry & Biology)'' launched on April 15, 1994, and joined Cell Press in January 2002. In 2007, Cell Press acquired the Trends family of journals,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Cell Press: Cell Press |url=https://www.cell.com/trends |access-date=2022-05-20 |website=www.cell.com}}</ref> 16 review journals covering the life, physical, and medical sciences.

In October 1995, Cell.com was launched and full-text online versions were launched in July 1997.
