Cover: Micro-computed tomography images of the spines and ribs of control (left) and induced SHP-2-deficient (right) adult mice. SHP-2-deficient mice show spinal curvature (kyphosis and scoliosis), osteopetrosis and ectopic calcified growths. The induced SHP-2-deficient mouse serves as a useful model for understanding how mutations of the PTPN11 gene (which encodes SHP-2) cause skeletal malformations in humans.

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.
Read & Publish Open Access publishing: what authors say
We have had great feedback from authors who have benefitted from our Read & Publish agreement with their institution and have been able to publish Open Access with us without paying an APC. Read what they had to say.
Fast & Fair peer review
Our sister journal Biology Open has recently launched the next phase of their Fast & Fair peer review initiative: offering high-quality peer review within 7 working days. To learn more about BiO’s progress and future plans, read the Editorial by Daniel Gorelick, or visit the Fast & Fair peer review page.
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.
