Due to COVID-19, Biology Open staff are working remotely, but our editorial operations continue to run as usual. Please contact us by email at bio@biologists.com if you have any queries. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

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.

Effect of serotonin modulation on dystrophin-deficient zebrafish
Janelle M. Spinazzola, Matthias R. Lambert, Devin E. Gibbs, James R. Conner, Georgia L. Krikorian, Prithu Pareek, Carlo Rago, Louis M. Kunkel
Kunkel and colleagues performed phenotypic screening of serotonin pathway modulators in Duchenne muscular dystrophy zebrafish to identify potential small-molecule therapeutics that limit the dystrophic muscle phenotype and lengthen lifespan.
Comparative interactomics analysis reveals potential regulators of α6β4 distribution in keratinocytes
Lisa te Molder, Liesbeth Hoekman, Maaike Kreft, Onno Bleijerveld, Arnoud Sonnenberg
A comparative interactomics analysis performed by Sonnenberg and colleagues reveals the close proximity of hemidesmosomes, focal adhesions and cortical microtubule stabilizing complexes.
Future Leader Review
BiO has published what we hope to be the first of several Future Leader Reviews.
E. Jennifer Jin, Seungmee Park and Xiaohui Lyu describe how studies from C. elegans have illustrated the many roles of gap junctions in neural connectivity and circuit regulation, during normal conditions and under stress. These three co-first authors of BiO’s first Future Leader Review article also share their scientific backgrounds, delve into the process of researching their review, and talk about the positive changes that the COVID-19 lockdown brought to the bench - read their Future Leaders to Watch interview. Find out how to propose your own Future Leader Review.
