BMC Veterinary Research 2012, 8:35Fibroblasts alter cancer cell gene expression
Carcinoma-associated fibroblasts modulate the gene expression of co-cultured canine mammary cancer cells, affecting adhesion, angiogenesis and epithelial-mesenchymal transition in these cells which may reflect an involvement in tumorigenesis in vivo.

BMC Veterinary Research 2012, 8:32Biomarkers for early disease detection
Serum from pigs experimentally infected with a combination of porcine circovirus-associated diseases indicate that SELDI-TOF protein profiles have potential for detection of viral infection in pigs before clinical signs of the disease become visible.

Scope
BMC Veterinary Research is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that considers articles on all aspects of veterinary science and medicine, including the epidemiology, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of medical conditions of domestic, companion, farm and wild animals, as well as the biomedical processes that underlie their health.
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."
