🚨Call for papers 🚨 BMC Biology is looking for submissions on Non-traditional model organisms for our latest collection. We aim to promote the importance of non-model organisms in advancing biological research and addressing global challenges. biomedcentral.com/collections/CO…

This Collection aims to foster understanding of the complex interplay between aging and immune function under healthy and disease conditions, across various species, in hopes of potential strategies to mitigate the adverse effects of immunosenescence and improve healthspan.

A study published in BMC Biology finds that Uloboridae spiders have indeed lost their venom apparatus while still retaining toxin-like genes, with toxicity of their digestive fluids likely compensating for the absence of venom and ensuring prey digestion. bmcbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

A better understanding of historical pandemics can provide relevant information for the prevention of future pandemics🧪😷 Check out new #OpenAccess research in #BMCBiology studying host adaptations from the 1918 flu pandemic bmcbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

IRF3 and IRF9 were considered missing from the chicken genome and many other birds 🐓 New #OpenAccess research in #BMCBiology describes multiple avian IRF3 and IRF9 genes, all with difficult GC-rich sequences that prevented their earlier characterization bmcbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Previously, we knew of 7 type I interferons in the largest group of freshwater fish, the order of Cypriniformes🐟 New #OpenAccess research in #BMCBiology has now expanded that number to 8! bmcbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

New #OpenAccess research in #BMCBiology investigated gut microbiome compositional patterns in healthy Koreans (n = 890) and identified six clusters (I–VI) with unique compositions and host preferences. bmcbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

A new #OpenAccess study in #BMCBiology shows that the presence of helpers increases lifespan of the reproductive ants while reproduction itself does not 🐜 bmcbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Many humanized ACE2 mouse models of SARS-CoV-2 infection do not replicate human ACE2 protein expression. Authors addressed this limitation in a recent #OpenAccess #BMCBiology study by designing and characterizing a fully humanized ACE2 mouse. bmcbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…
