Awareness and current knowledge of breast cancer

Muhammad Akram, Mehwish Iqbal, Muhammad Daniyal et al. · 2 Oct 2017

Breast cancer remains a worldwide public health dilemma and is currently the most common tumour in the globe. Awareness of breast cancer, public attentiveness, and advancement in breast imaging has made a positive impact on recognition and screening of breast cancer. Breast cancer is life-threatening disease in females and the leading cause of mortality among…

Stress and defense responses in plant secondary metabolites production

Tasiu Isah · 29 Jul 2019

In the growth condition(s) of plants, numerous secondary metabolites (SMs) are produced by them to serve variety of cellular functions essential for physiological processes, and recent increasing evidences have implicated stress and defense response signaling in their production. The type and concentration(s) of secondary molecule(s) produced by a plant are determined by the species, genotype,…

Fate of nitrogen in agriculture and environment: agronomic, eco-physiological and molecular approaches to improve nitrogen use efficiency

Muhammad Anas, Fen Liao, Krishan K. Verma et al. · 16 Oct 2020

Nitrogen is the main limiting nutrient after carbon, hydrogen and oxygen for photosynthetic process, phyto-hormonal, proteomic changes and growth-development of plants to complete its lifecycle. Excessive and inefficient use of N fertilizer results in enhanced crop production costs and atmospheric pollution. Atmospheric nitrogen (71%) in the molecular form is not available for the plants. For…

Glucose transporters: expression, regulation and cancer

Rodolfo A. Medina, Gareth I. Owen · 1 Jan 2002

Mammalian cells depend on glucose as a major substrate for energy production. Glucose is transported into the cell via facilitative glucose transporters (GLUT) present in all cell types. Many GLUT isoforms have been described and their expression is cell-specific and subject to hormonal and environmental control. The kinetic properties and substrate specificities of the different…

Regulation of aquaporins in plants under stress

Ranganathan Kapilan, Maryam Vaziri, Janusz J. Zwiazek · 16 Jan 2018

Aquaporins (AQP) are channel proteins belonging to the Major Intrinsic Protein (MIP) superfamily that play an important role in plant water relations. The main role of aquaporins in plants is transport of water and other small neutral molecules across cellular biological membranes. AQPs have remarkable features to provide an efficient and often, specific water flow…

Biological Research template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Biological Research format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Biological Research template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official BMC (BioMed Central) format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Biological Research use?
Biological Research uses Numbered (Vancouver) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith A, Jones B, Lee C. A representative article title. Biological Research. 2023;12(3):45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Biological Research?
No. DocuGuru generates the bmcart LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a BMC (BioMed Central)-ready Biological Research document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Biological Research template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Biological Research format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Biological Research?
BMC / BioMed Central journal. It is a life sciences and medicine journal, published by BMC (BioMed Central).
Can I export a submission-ready Biological Research PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Biological Research template (the bmcart class) that is ready to submit to BMC (BioMed Central), together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Biological Research template cost?
You can start writing in the Biological Research template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Biological Research PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
