Editorial

We are very pleased to announce that two research groups, who each published an outstanding research article in Cell & Bioscience in 2015, have been selected to receive the Ming K Jeang Award for excellence in Cell & Bioscience. The Ming K Jeang Award for excellence in Cell & Bioscience was established in 2011 with a generous donation from the Ming K. Jeang Foundation to honor outstanding research articles published in Cell & Bioscience, the official journal of the Society of Chinese Bioscientists in America (SCBA; www.scbasociety.org). A committee of Cell & Bioscience editors, chaired by Dr. Dong-Yan Jin, considered all research articles published in the journal in 2015 to select the following two articles to receive the award [1, 2]:

Biologically active, high levels of interleukin-22 inhibit hepatic gluconeogenesis but do not affect obesity and its metabolic consequences
