RESEARCH ARTICLES
Biomechanical analysis of little penguins’ underwater locomotion from the free-ranging dive data
Summary: The analysis of free-ranging dive data for little penguins shows that, as expected, they employ efficient propulsion mechanisms and dive in a way that minimises cost of transport.
Na,K-ATPase activity promotes macropinocytosis in colon cancer via Wnt signaling
Summary: Membrane trafficking's pivotal role in Wnt signaling unveiled; Ouabain inhibits the Wnt pathway, offering a potential strategy against Wnt-driven cancers.
Vascular smooth muscle cell-derived nerve growth factor regulates sympathetic collateral branching to innervate blood vessels in embryonic skin
Summary: VSMC-derived NGF controls sympathetic collateral branching.
Hansenula polymorpha cells lacking the ER-localized peroxins Pex23 or Pex29 show defects in mitochondrial function and morphology
Summary: Hansenula polymorpha cells lacking Pex23 or Pex29 show defects in mitochondrial function and morphology that are partially repressed by deletion of DNM1 or an artificial ER-mitochondrion tether.
Foraging behaviour and habitat use during chick-rearing in the Australian endemic black-faced cormorant (Phalacrocorax fuscescens)
Summary: In black-faced cormorants, a little studied endemic Australian seabird, males and females exhibited different diving behaviour and exploited different areas. Thereby, environmental changes could disproportionally affect a single sex.
Climate change consequences on the systemic heart of female Octopus maya: oxidative phosphorylation assessment and the antioxidant system
Summary: This study addresses the impact of rising temperatures on the cardiac mitochondria of Octopus maya, explaining for the first time how temperature probably controls the reproduction of this octopus species.
Short- and long-term exposure to high glucose induces unique transcriptional changes in osteoblasts in vitro
Summary: To understand the effect of high glucose on bone, we evaluated global changes in osteoblast transcriptome upon short- or long-term hyperglycemia and observed unique cellular responses depending on exposure time.
Arf GTPase-Activating proteins ADAP1 and ARAP1 regulate incorporation of CD63 in multivesicular bodies
Summary: ADAP1 and ARAP1 regulate CD63 localization in endosomes. ADAP1 and ARAP1 promote incorporation of CD63 and CD9, but not EGF, to multivesicular bodies (MVBs). ADAP1 and ARAP1 can distinguish MVBs with CD63 from MVBs with EGF.
METHODS & TECHNIQUES
A methodological approach for collecting simultaneous measures of muscle, aponeurosis, and tendon behaviour during dynamic contractions
Summary: This paper presents a new method to simultaneously measure muscle, aponeurosis, and tendon properties during contractions that are relevant to locomotion.

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 power of using patient-matched samples

Latasha Ludwig and colleagues found that patient-matched samples across cell line, tumour tissue, and plasma are different in the microRNAs that they express. This study highlights the importance of considering sample type when studying miRNAs in cancer and demonstrates the power of using patient-matched samples.
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.
