I hope you are familiar with the following database? http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?cmd=search&db=pubmed"

Exactly what is your interest? Biology is really broad and it can take you anywhere. If you have an idea you can look through some individual journals and see if there are some interesting news and views or review articles that can get you started.
