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.

Steed et al BMC Cell Biology 2009 Fig 5A
BMC Cell Biology 2009, 10:95
MarvelD3 co-localizes with the structurally similar occludin protein at tight junctions, and although not required for their formation, has a functional role in determining properties of epithelial paracellular permeablility.
Zanni et al BMC Cell Biology 2009 Fig 1C
BMC Cell Biology 2009, 10:86
Altered mitochondrial morphology and functionality seen in Kluyveromyces lactis yeast cells lacking the Golgi alpha 1,6 mannosyltransferase enzyme KlOch1p is linked to reduced expression of calcium signaling genes and a disruption of calcium homeostasis.

BMC Cell Biology 2009, 10:84
Mutant epidermal growth factor receptors in non-small cell lung cancer cell lines are constitutively endocytosed, and their aberrant trafficking into the endocytic recycling compartment promotes engagement with Src, a critical partner in the oncogenic transformation of these cells.
