A section of the allantois of a mouse embryo, from a study by Sophie M. Morgani and Anna-Katerina Hadjantonakis, expressing TCF/LEF-H2B-GFP reporter of WNT signaling (the more widespread color) and SOX2 staining (orange) to mark the primordial germ cells (PGCs) and stained for DNA (grey).

RESEARCH ARTICLES
KDM5A and KDM5B histone-demethylases contribute to HU-induced replication stress response and tolerance
Summary: We describe that KDM5A and KDM5B histone-demethylases contribute to hydroxyurea-induced replication stress tolerance, in part by regulating expression of ribonuclease reductase subunit RRM2.
A nematode-derived, mitochondrial stress signaling-regulated peptide exhibits broad antibacterial activity
Summary: The caenacin antimicrobial peptide CNC-4 is regulated by a mitochondrial recovery pathway and exhibits broad antibacterial activity.
High glucose induces Nox4 expression and podocyte apoptosis through the Smad3/ezrin/PKA pathway
Summary: The actin-membrane linker protein ezrin-related signaling plays a critical role in podocyte apoptosis through regulation of Nox4 expression and ROS production.
Mapping the transcriptomic changes of endothelial compartment in human hippocampus across aging and mild cognitive impairment
Summary: An integrative picture about the mechanisms operating in the hippocampal vasculature under normal and pathological scenarios is achieved by the computational dissection of microarray data corresponding to whole tissue samples and focusing on gene splice forms.
Quantitative analysis of signaling responses during mouse primordial germ cell specification
Summary: A subpopulation of pluripotent cells of the embryo give rise to the primordial germ cells (PGCs), the precursors of the sperm and egg, which pass on heritable genetic information to the next generation. To determine how PGCs are first segregated from the soma, we investigated BMP, MAPK and WNT signaling over time in PGCs and their surrounding niche in vitro and in vivo at single-cell resolution.
Auxin treatment increases lifespan in Caenorhabditis elegans
Summary: We report that auxin and auxin-inducible protein degradation tools alter lifespan in C. elegans.
Genome wide association study for the identification of genes associated with tail fat deposition in Chinese sheep breeds
Summary: This is a study on candidate genotyping of sheep with different tail types in China.

Biologists @ 100 - join us in Liverpool in March 2025
We are excited to invite you to a unique scientific conference, celebrating the 100-year anniversary of The Company of Biologists, and bringing together our different communities. The conference will incorporate the Spring Meetings of the BSCB and the BSDB, the JEB Symposium Sensory Perception in a Changing World and a DMM programme on antimicrobial resistance. Find out more and register to join us in March 2025 in Liverpool, UK. The deadline for abstract submission and early-bird registration is 17 January 2025.
Daniel Gorelick on Open Access and Read & Publish in Biology Open
Editor-in-Chief, Daniel Gorelick, talks about Biology Open, the importance of Open Access publishing and how The Company of Biologists’ Read & Publish initiative benefits researchers.
A new model for cephalopod neurobiology
Fabián Vergara-Ovalle and colleagues show the distribution of the nitric oxide system within the nervous system, particularly in areas associated with olfactory and visual information processing, in Octopus maya. Since these octopi can be cultured in the lab, they represent a valuable model for studying cephalopod neurobiology.
How we support early-career researchers
Biology Open, its sister journals and its not-for-profit publisher, The Company of Biologists, support early-career researchers in numerous ways, helping them grow their network and raise their profile. Find out what we can do to support you.
