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, Scopus, EMBASE, Thomson Reuters (ISI) and Google Scholar.

BMC Cell Biology 2009, 10:36
Activation of classical protein kinase C isoenzymes by tumor promoter agents in pancreatic adenocarcinoma cell monolayers disrupts cell-cell junctions, via a mechanism dependent on ROCK-II activation of non-muscle myosin II, leading to the contraction of peri-junctional actin filaments.

BMC Cell Biology 2009, 10:28
At the onset of muscle cell differentiation, before the fusion of myoblasts into myotubes, centrosome proteins migrate to surround the nucleus where they form an insoluble fibrillar matrix thought to function in cytoskeletal reorganisation.

The dioxin 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-para-dioxin (TCDD) activates the aryl hydrocarbon receptor in gastric cancer cells, inducing matrix metalloproteinase-9 expression by a pathway dependent on c-jun, and enhancing invasive behavior.
