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.

Propose a new Workshop


Our Workshops bring together leading experts and early-career researchers from a range of scientific backgrounds. Applications are now open to propose Workshops for 2024, one of which will be held in a Global South country. .
Fast track

Have a paper that has been reviewed elsewhere? BiO is pleased to consider such manuscripts for fast-tracked decision making. Send us your manuscript together with the full set of reviews and decision letters, and we will make an initial decision in one week (or less).
First Person interviews
As a community journal, BiO is committed to supporting the next generation of researchers. Explore our full archive of First Person interviews to hear from the early-career researchers behind our papers, as they share the story behind the research, their thoughts on life at the bench and what’s in store for the future.
Future Leader Reviews
BiO’s Future Leader Reviews help early-career researchers:
- Establish themselves in their field
- Find a foothold in a new area after a subject change post-PhD/postdoc
- Build their profile for grant, fellowship and job applications
