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 the biology of cells including organelles and cellular compartments, trafficking and turnover, signaling, motility, adhesion, cell division, differentiation and programmed cell death. BMC Cell Biology (ISSN 1471-2121) is indexed/tracked/covered by PubMed, MEDLINE, BIOSIS, CAS, EMBASE, Scopus, Thomson Reuters (ISI) and Google Scholar.

Nuclear pore complex protein Tpr is imported into the nucleus by the importin / pathway, while binding studies suggest a role for Tpr in the import and/or recycling of importin complexes, and in CRM1-mediated protein export.
Kippert et al BMC Cell Biology 2009, 10:71

The expansion of the cell surface area of oligodendrocytes to allow them to form myelin wrapped round an axon is regulated by actomyosin contractility, extracellular matrix rigidity, and endocytosis.

The peptide GX1 inhibits angiogenesis as well as homing to human gastric cancer vasculature, and when conjugated to recombinant mutant human tumor necrosis factor alpha (rmhTNF) represses gastric cancer xenografts more effectively and with less systemic toxicity than rmhTNF alone.
