Welcome to BMC Cell Biology published by BioMed Central
BMC Cell Biology is an open access journal publishing original peer-reviewed research articles in all aspects of cell biology including cellular compartments, traffic, signalling, motility, adhesion and division.
BMC Cell Biology (ISSN 1471-2121) is indexed/tracked/covered by PubMed, MEDLINE, BIOSIS, CAS, Scopus, EMBASE, Thomson Reuters (ISI) and Google Scholar.
BMC Cell Biology 2008, 9 :68
Silencing the gene encoding Cytokeratin 18 using RNAi prevents replication of some strains of the intracellular parasite Trypanosoma cruzi in HeLa cells, indicating the gene to be a mediator of parasite-host interactions and a potential therapeutic target.
BMC Cell Biology 2008, 9 :57
While the alpha subunit of the human organic solute transporter is a glycoprotein, glycosylation is not essential for its interaction with the beta subunit, localization of the complex to the plasma membrane or functioning of the transporter there.
BMC Cell Biology 2008, 9 :54
The Carnation Italian ringspot virus exploits its host plant's translocase complex, but not the sorting and assembly machinery, to insert the p36 protein of its RNA replication complex into the host cell's mitochondrial outer membrane.
