Complexes between the LKB1 tumor suppressor, STRADα/β and MO25α/β are upstream kinases in the AMP-activated protein kinase cascade

Simon A. Hawley, Jérôme Boudeau, Jennifer L. Reid et al. · 24 Sep 2003

BACKGROUND: The AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) cascade is a sensor of cellular energy charge that acts as a 'metabolic master switch' and inhibits cell proliferation. Activation requires phosphorylation of Thr172 of AMPK within the activation loop by upstream kinases (AMPKKs) that have not been identified. Recently, we identified three related protein kinases acting upstream of…

Dynamic rerouting of the carbohydrate flux is key to counteracting oxidative stress

Markus Ralser, Mirjam M. C. Wamelink, Axel Kowald et al. · 11 Dec 2007

BACKGROUND: Eukaryotic cells have evolved various response mechanisms to counteract the deleterious consequences of oxidative stress. Among these processes, metabolic alterations seem to play an important role. RESULTS: We recently discovered that yeast cells with reduced activity of the key glycolytic enzyme triosephosphate isomerase exhibit an increased resistance to the thiol-oxidizing reagent diamide. Here we…

The Drosophila Forkhead transcription factor FOXO mediates the reduction in cell number associated with reduced insulin signaling

Martin A. Jünger, Felix Rintelen, Hugo Stocker et al. · 7 Aug 2003

BACKGROUND: Forkhead transcription factors belonging to the FOXO subfamily are negatively regulated by protein kinase B (PKB) in response to signaling by insulin and insulin-like growth factor in Caenorhabditis elegans and mammals. In Drosophila, the insulin-signaling pathway regulates the size of cells, organs, and the entire body in response to nutrient availability, by controlling both…

CNS progenitor cells and oligodendrocytes are targets of chemotherapeutic agents in vitro and in vivo

Jöerg Dietrich, Ruolan Han, Yin Yang et al. · 24 Nov 2006

BACKGROUND: Chemotherapy in cancer patients can be associated with serious short- and long-term adverse neurological effects, such as leukoencephalopathy and cognitive impairment, even when therapy is delivered systemically. The underlying cellular basis for these adverse effects is poorly understood. RESULTS: We found that three mainstream chemotherapeutic agents--carmustine (BCNU), cisplatin, and cytosine arabinoside (cytarabine), representing two…

Small-molecule modulators of Hedgehog signaling: identification and characterization of Smoothened agonists and antagonists

Maria Frank-Kamenetsky, Xiaoyan M. Zhang, Steve Bottega et al. · 6 Nov 2002

BACKGROUND: The Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway is vital to animal development as it mediates the differentiation of multiple cell types during embryogenesis. In adults, Hh signaling can be activated to facilitate tissue maintenance and repair. Moreover, stimulation of the Hh pathway has shown therapeutic efficacy in models of neuropathy. The underlying mechanisms of Hh signal…

Journal of Biology template — frequently asked questions

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