BMC Cell Biology 2012, 13:6Role of palmitoylation in OPRM1 signaling
The presence of a palmitoylation site on the μ-opioid receptor (OPRM1) and a cholesterol-palmitoyl interaction in the receptor complex may contribute to OPRM1 signaling by facilitating homodimerization and G protein coupling.

BMC Cell Biology 2011, 12:54JNK pathway mediates hyperoxia lung responses
The c-JunNH2-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway mediates, at least in part, hyperoxia-induced cell death, myofibroblast transdifferentiation and TGF-β1-mediated pulmonary injury, and may regulate these responses in the developing murine lung.

BMC Cell Biology 2011, 12:53Cardiomyocyte differentiation in bioreactors
Cardiomyocyte differentiation can be achieved in suspension bioreactors but the addition of medium enhancers isn?t adequate to force complete differentiation as fluid shear forces may maintain a subpopulation of cells in a transient pluripotent state.

Scope
BMC Cell Biology is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that considers articles on 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.
It is journal policy to publish work deemed by peer reviewers to be a coherent and sound addition to scientific knowledge and to put less emphasis on interest levels, provided that the research constitutes a useful contribution to the field.
Quote
"I strongly believe in the internet and open-access publishing in order to achieve scientific outreach both within academia and outside academia. Open-access allows anyone in the world with access to a computer to access scientific research. These innovative journals are becoming extremely successful and will change the nature of scientific publishing and increase the accessibility of science."
