Exosomes: biogenesis, biologic function and clinical potential

Yuan Zhang, Yunfeng Liu, Haiying Liu et al. · 15 Feb 2019

Exosomes are nano-sized biovesicles released into surrounding body fluids upon fusion of multivesicular bodies and the plasma membrane. They were shown to carry cell-specific cargos of proteins, lipids, and genetic materials, and can be selectively taken up by neighboring or distant cells far from their release, reprogramming the recipient cells upon their bioactive compounds. Therefore,…

mTOR signaling pathway and mTOR inhibitors in cancer: progress and challenges

Zhilin Zou, Tao Tao, Hongmei Li et al. · 10 Mar 2020

Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) regulates cell proliferation, autophagy, and apoptosis by participating in multiple signaling pathways in the body. Studies have shown that the mTOR signaling pathway is also associated with cancer, arthritis, insulin resistance, osteoporosis, and other diseases. The mTOR signaling pathway, which is often activated in tumors, not only regulates gene transcription…

SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19: The most important research questions

Kit‐San Yuen, Zi‐Wei Ye, Sin‐Yee Fung et al. · 16 Mar 2020

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is an ongoing global health emergency. Here we highlight nine most important research questions concerning virus transmission, asymptomatic and presymptomatic virus shedding, diagnosis, treatment, vaccine development, origin of virus and viral pathogenesis.

RETRACTED ARTICLE: Roles of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signalling pathways in neurodegenerative diseases and tumours

Fei Xu, Lixin Na, Yanfei Li et al. · 1 Apr 2020

The PI3 K/AKT/mTOR signalling pathway plays an important role in the regulation of signal transduction and biological processes such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, metabolism and angiogenesis. Compared with those of other signalling pathways, the components of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signalling pathway are complicated. The regulatory mechanisms and biological functions of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signalling pathway are important…

Apigenin in cancer therapy: anti-cancer effects and mechanisms of action

Xiaohui Yan, Qi Miao, Pengfei Li et al. · 5 Oct 2017

Apigenin is a common dietary flavonoid that is abundantly present in many fruits, vegetables and Chinese medicinal herbs and serves multiple physiological functions, such as strong anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial and antiviral activities and blood pressure reduction. Therefore, apigenin has been used as a traditional medicine for centuries. Recently, apigenin has been widely investigated for its…

Cell & Bioscience template — frequently asked questions

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