Most-cited papers in BMC Developmental Biology

The zebrafish lysozyme C promoter drives myeloid-specific expression in transgenic fish

Christopher J. Hall, Maria Vega Flores, T Storm et al. · 4 May 2007

BACKGROUND: How different immune cell compartments contribute to a successful immune response is central to fully understanding the mechanisms behind normal processes such as tissue repair and the pathology of inflammatory diseases. However, the ability to observe and characterize such interactions, in real-time, within a living vertebrate has proved elusive. Recently, the zebrafish has been…

Molecular characterization of retinal stem cells and their niches in adult zebrafish

Pamela A. Raymond, Linda K. Barthel, Rebecca Bernardos et al. · 26 Jul 2006

BACKGROUND: The persistence in adult teleost fish of retinal stem cells that exhibit all of the features of true 'adult stem cells'--self-renewal, multipotency, and the capacity to respond to injury by mitotic activation with the ability to regenerate differentiated tissues--has been known for several decades. However, the specialized cellular and molecular characteristics of these adult…

Dynamics of muscle fibre growth during postnatal mouse development

Robert B. White, Anne-Sophie Biérinx, Viola F. Gnocchi et al. · 22 Feb 2010

BACKGROUND: Postnatal growth in mouse is rapid, with total skeletal muscle mass increasing several-fold in the first few weeks. Muscle growth can be achieved by either an increase in muscle fibre number or an increase in the size of individual myofibres, or a combination of both. Where myofibre hypertrophy during growth requires the addition of…

Term amniotic membrane is a high throughput source for multipotent mesenchymal stem cells with the ability to differentiate into endothelial cells in vitro

Francesco Alviano, Valentina Fossati, Cosetta Marchionni et al. · 21 Feb 2007

BACKGROUND: Term Amniotic membrane (AM) is a very attractive source of Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) due to the fact that this fetal tissue is usually discarded without ethical conflicts, leading to high efficiency in MSC recovery with no intrusive procedures. Here we confirmed that term AM, as previously reported in the literature, is an abundant…

BMC Developmental Biology template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the BMC Developmental Biology format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the BMC Developmental Biology 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 BMC Developmental Biology use?
BMC Developmental Biology 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. BMC Developmental Biology. 2023;12(3):45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to BMC Developmental Biology?
No. DocuGuru generates the bmcart LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a BMC (BioMed Central)-ready BMC Developmental Biology 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 BMC Developmental Biology template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the BMC Developmental Biology format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
Who publishes BMC Developmental Biology?
BMC Developmental Biology is a life sciences and medicine journal published by BMC (BioMed Central). DocuGuru's BMC Developmental Biology template matches BMC (BioMed Central)'s official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready BMC Developmental Biology PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official BMC Developmental Biology template (the bmcart class) that is ready to submit to BMC (BioMed Central), together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the BMC Developmental Biology template cost?
You can start writing in the BMC Developmental Biology template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready BMC Developmental Biology PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
