Journal of Biology 2008, 7:10
The first functional insulin-binding protein identified in invertebrates, Imp-L2, controls Drosophila body size by regulating insulin-mediated growth and is essential for larval survival and dampening insulin signaling under starvation conditions.

BMC Biology 2008, 6:13
A novel teal fluorescent protein, mWasabi, is useful for two-color imaging and fluorescence resonance energy transfer studies because two mutations near the chromophore bestow narrow spectral properties and resistance to violet light excitation.

Genome Biology 2008, 9:R47
Inhibitors of the platelet derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) signaling pathway are isolated using gene expression-based high-throughput screening (GE-HTS), a method that is applicable to other pathways.

Now accepting submissions
 Chemistry Central has launched Chemistry Central Journal, a broad ranging open access chemistry journal divided into 55 subject specific sections. The Editors invite you to submit your next manuscript using the online submission system.
“I think open access journals are a great idea and am delighted to join you in this venture as a member of the Editorial Advisory Board”
Robert F. Curl (Nobel Prize in Chemistry, 1996), Kenneth S. Pitzer-Schlumberger Professor of Natural Sciences Emeritus, Rice University, Texas
Journals
Chemistry Central is planning to launch further chemistry-specific journals in the near future. Our journal management system incorporates online tools for manuscript submission, peer review and editorial decision making. We make this technology available without charge to suitably qualified groups of researchers that wish to operate their own open access online journals.
