Most-cited papers in BMC Cell Biology

Caspase-9, caspase-3 and caspase-7 have distinct roles during intrinsic apoptosis

Matthew Brentnall, Luis Rodriguez-Menocal, Rebeka Ladron De Guevara et al. · 9 Jul 2013

BACKGROUND: Apoptosis is a form of programmed cell death that is regulated by the Bcl-2 family and caspase family of proteins. The caspase cascade responsible for executing cell death following cytochrome c release is well described; however the distinct roles of caspases-9, -3 and -7 during this process are not completely defined. RESULTS: Here we…

Aging of mesenchymal stem cell in vitro

Mandana Mohyeddin Bonab, Kamran Alimoghaddam, Fatemeh Talebian et al. · 10 Mar 2006

BACKGROUND: A hot new topic in medical treatment is the use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) in therapy. The low frequency of this subpopulation of stem cells in bone marrow (BM) necessitates their in vitro expansion prior to clinical use. We evaluated the effect of long term culture on the senescence of these cells. RESULTS:…

Anti-proliferative activity of silver nanoparticles

P. V. Asharani, M. Prakash Hande, Suresh Valiyaveettil · 17 Sep 2009

BACKGROUND: Nanoparticles possess exceptional physical and chemical properties which led to rapid commercialisation. Silver nanoparticles (Ag-np) are among the most commercialized nanoparticles due to their antimicrobial potential. Ag-np based cosmetics, therapeutic agents and household products are in wide use, which raised a public concern regarding their safety associated with human and environmental use. No safety…

Donor age and cell passage affects differentiation potential of murine bone marrow-derived stem cells

James D. Kretlow, Yuqing Jin, Wei Liu et al. · 28 Oct 2008

BACKGROUND: Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are a widely researched adult stem cell population capable of differentiation into various lineages. Because many promising applications of tissue engineering require cell expansion following harvest and involve the treatment of diseases and conditions found in an aging population, the effect of donor age and ex vivo handling…

The multifunctional FUS, EWS and TAF15 proto-oncoproteins show cell type-specific expression patterns and involvement in cell spreading and stress response

Mattias K. Andersson, Anders Ståhlberg, Yvonne Arvidsson et al. · 11 Jul 2008

BACKGROUND: FUS, EWS and TAF15 are structurally similar multifunctional proteins that were first discovered upon characterization of fusion oncogenes in human sarcomas and leukemias. The proteins belong to the FET (previously TET) family of RNA-binding proteins and are implicated in central cellular processes such as regulation of gene expression, maintenance of genomic integrity and mRNA/microRNA…

BMC Cell Biology template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the BMC Cell Biology format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the BMC Cell Biology template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Springer Nature format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does BMC Cell Biology use?
BMC Cell Biology uses Superscript numbered (Nature) references, shown as superscript numerals 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 Cell Biology 12, 45–58 (2023).
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to BMC Cell Biology?
No. DocuGuru generates the sn-jnl LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Springer Nature-ready BMC Cell 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 Cell Biology template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the BMC Cell Biology format with correct headings, figures, tables, and superscript citations.
Who publishes BMC Cell Biology?
BMC Cell Biology is a multidisciplinary journal published by Springer Nature. DocuGuru's BMC Cell Biology template matches Springer Nature's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready BMC Cell Biology PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official BMC Cell Biology template (the sn-jnl class) that is ready to submit to Springer Nature, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the BMC Cell Biology template cost?
You can start writing in the BMC Cell Biology template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready BMC Cell Biology PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
