Cover: GFP-tagged Wnt8a (green) is distributed across a field of cells that express membrane monomeric red fluorescent protein (mRFP, magenta). mRNA coding for Wnt8a-GFP and heparan sulfate 6-O-endosulfatase 1 (Sulf1) was injected into a single blastomere of a Xenopus embryo during early cleavage stages together with a cell lineage tracer, membrane Cerulean (yellow). An adjacent cell was injected with mRNA coding for mRFP. An ectodermal explant (animal cap) was excised and fluorescence visualised using confocal microscopy at the blastula stage. Expression of Sulf1 increases the range of Wnt8a diffusion. See article by S. W. Fellgett et al. (pp. 1408–1421).

Call for papers - Cilia and Flagella: from Basic Biology to Disease
We are welcoming submissions for our upcoming special issue: Cilia and Flagella: from Basic Biology to Disease. This issue will be coordinated by two Guest Editors: Pleasantine Mill (University of Edinburgh) and Lotte Pedersen (University of Copenhagen). Submission deadline: 1 March 2025.
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 your interest to join us in March 2025 in Liverpool, UK.
Principles and regulation of mechanosensing
Mechanics play a fundamental role in cell physiology and represent physical mechanisms which cells use to influence function from the molecular to tissue scale. In this Review, Stefano Sala and colleagues clearly define mechanosensing and mechanotransduction, illustrate various mechanosensing mechanisms and discuss methods that cells use to regulate these processes.
