An image of opercular epithelium of a mummichog (Fundulus heterociltus), exhibiting cell-specific distribution of Claudin-10c (Cldn-10c, yellow) and Na+-K+-ATPase (NKA, red) following acclimation to hypersaline water from a paper by Chun Chih Chen and colleagues. Intense Cldn-10c immunoreactivity in the apical crypt area of NKA-rich opercular epithelium ionocytes contribute to the idea that Cldn-10 proteins play a key role in paracellular cation pore formation and sodium shunt function within marine fish branchial tissues.

RESEARCH ARTICLES
Variations in oxidative stress and antioxidant defense level during different phases of hibernation in common Asian toad, Duttaphrynus melanostictus
Summary: Hibernation though a period of metabolic depression in common Asian toad, we found oxidative stress and augmented antioxidant defense both during hibernation and arousal from hibernation and coming down of these parameters to basal level during post arousal phase.
Pressure-induced changes on the morphology and gene expression in mammalian cells
Summary: Application of high hydrostatic pressure on somatic cells induce changes in gene expression including upregulation in pluripotency genes.
Mummichog gill and operculum exhibit functionally consistent claudin-10 paralog profiles and Claudin-10c hypersaline response
Summary: The role of claudin-10 tight junction proteins in paracellular salt secretion across fish branchial epithelia is indicated by organ-specific responses to hyperosmotic conditions and their association with salt secreting transcellular proteins
High-throughput detection of eukaryotic parasites and arboviruses in mosquitoes
Summary: We describe a surveillance technique enabling the detection of known and previously uncharacterized pathogens present in mosquitoes. This approach could reduce the costs of vector-borne disease monitoring and provide early warning of emerging diseases.
Muscle forces and the demands of human walking
Summary: A musculoskeletal model of human walking reveals the consistency, timing, and magnitude of lower limb muscle forces across the stance phase.
The dorsal blastopore lip is a source of signals inducing planar cell polarity in the Xenopus neural plate
Summary: The blastopore lip contains a cue that induces the progressive establishment of planar polarity in the neural plate in the posterior to anterior direction.
Rab7 is required for mesoderm patterning and gastrulation in Xenopus
Summary: The late endosomal regulator Rab7 is required for gastrulation movements and axis elongation in Xenopus by regulating early mesoderm patterning.
Morphological mechanism allowing a parasitic leech, Ozobranchus jantseanus (Rhynchobdellida: Ozobranchidae), to survive in ultra-low temperatures
Summary: The freeze tolerance mechanism of Ozobranchus jantseanus, the largest metazoan animal requiring no pretreatment that can survive in ultra-low temperature, was first studied from the perspective of morphology.

Fast & Fair peer review

We have recently launched the next phase of our Fast & Fair peer review initiative: offering high-quality peer review within 7 working days. To learn more about our progress and future plans, read the Editorial by our Editor-in-Chief Daniel Gorelick or visit the Fast & Fair peer review page.
The Company of Biologists Workshops

For the last 15 years, our publisher, The Company of Biologists, has provided an apt environment to inspire biology and support biologists through our Workshops series. Read about the evolution of the Workshop series and revisit JEB's experience with hosting the first Global South Workshop.
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.
The remarkable cellular diversity of the African turquoise killifish telencephalon

African turquoise killifish have a remarkably short natural lifespan and their central nervous system has human-like ageing. Caroline Zandecki and colleagues reveal the cellular diversity during the explosive growth of the telencephalon.
Propose a new Workshop for 2027

We are currently seeking proposals for Workshops to be held in 2027. As one of the scientific organisers of a The Company of Biologists Workshop, your involvement will be focused on interdisciplinary, cutting-edge science and promoting new partnerships and collaborations. We focus on the logistics. Are you thinking about proposing a topic for one of our Workshops? Apply by Friday 30 May 2025.
