Biology Open: 10 (1)

Archive

Biology Open (BiO) is an online Open Access journal that supports the community of biologists through the publication of peer-reviewed original research across all aspects of the biological sciences. We aim to provide rapid peer review and publication of scientifically sound results and conclusions, without a requirement for perceived impact. BiO also aspires to promote a peer-review system that is timely, thorough, constructive and fair.

Authors are encouraged to submit work of appropriate scope directly to BiO. Editorial decisions are made by an international board of research-active academic Editors, led by Editor-in-Chief Steven Kelly and supported by Deputy Editors Cathy Jackson and Yishi Jin.

Mutations in the splicing regulator Prp31 lead to retinal degeneration in Drosophila
Sarita Hebbar, Malte Lehmann, Sarah Behrens, Catrin Hälsig, Weihua Leng, Michaela Yuan, Sylke Winkler, Elisabeth Knust
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP), which leads to blindness, affects 1 in 4000 people worldwide. Hebbar et al. induced mutations in Drosophila Prp31 and showed that flies heterozygous for Prp31 undergo light-dependent retinal degeneration.
Giraffes and hominins: reductionist model predictions of compressive loads at the spine base for erect exponents of the animal kingdom
Michael Günther, Falk Mörl
Using a simple biomechanical model, the authors predicted the compressive stress on vertebrates’ intervertebral discs loaded by all cranial masses being held anywhere between fully upright and horizontal bow.

Future Leader Reviews

Molecular mechanisms of neurodegeneration in the entorhinal cortex that underlie its selective vulnerability during the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease
A new Future Leader Review from Olayemi Olajide, Marcus Suvanto and Clifton Andrew Chapman evaluates the molecular mechanisms that may explain the vulnerability and susceptibility of the entorhinal cortex to early neurodegeneration during the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease.
Find out more about our Future Leader Reviews – they are an exclusive opportunity for early-career researchers who want to establish themselves in their field.
