Confocal image showing slow-cycling interstitial stem cells in close contact with extracellular matrix in hydra. Hydra polyps expressing GFP in interstitial stem cells were pulsed with the thymidine analog EdU followed by chase without EdU. Polyps in chase were labeled for GFP (red), laminin (green, marking the extracellular matrix), EdU (yellow) and DNA (blue). Slow-cycling interstitial stem cells were predominantly in close contact with laminin, whereas interstitial stem cells that underwent division and lost EdU were not.

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.
Gatekeeping at BiO
In his Editorial, BiO Editor-in-Chief Dan Gorelick outlines the criteria by which articles submitted to BiO are assessed, as part of initiatives to increase transparency of journal 'gatekeeping'.
The Forest of Biologists
Our Publisher Claire Moulton recently visited the two Woodland Trust UK sites where we are planting new native trees for published Research and Review papers and protecting ancient woodland on behalf of our peer reviewers.
A Year at the Forefront
This series of Review articles aims to highlight the key discoveries, technological innovations, new resources and new hypotheses that have made an impact in a specific biological field during the past year. This publishing opportunity is available to early-career researchers, without a publication charge. Find out about eligibility and how to submit a proposal.
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.
