🌱 Introducing the Journal of Regeneration, a new open-access, peer-reviewed journal from Pensoft dedicated to exploring #regeneration across animals, plants and beyond. 🔗 Explore the journal and submission guidelines here: regeneration.pensoft.net #RegenerationResearch

Paying peer reviewers Interview with @danielgorelick.bsky.social about @biologyopen.bsky.social Fast & Fair trial in which peer reviewers were paid £220/review Spoiler: it works - fast, high quality reviews www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Why paying peer reviewers works, according to a journal’s editor-in-chief

A biology journal that paid peer reviewers found that the approach cut the time to a first editorial decision by 85% and maintained high-quality reviews.

We're very excited to announce the official launch of the Journal of Regeneration. Together with the amazing team from @pensoft.net and my two co-EICs Loriano Ballarin and Buki Rinkevich, it is such a pleasure to share this new platform for bringing together the regeneration biology community.

Congratulations to Dr. Markus Westphal and Dr. Rachel Branch from @beckergroup.bsky.social on this cool preprint! They show that spinal cord injury induces a stem-like progenitor state, and that these cells actively signal to their environment!! Find more on @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social

A little sneak preview of things to come for @socdevbio.bsky.social merch! Let us know what other designs you want to see in the store 🤗 sdb-official-merch.printify.me

I am absolutely in awe of this editorial laying out the details of the Company of Biologists publishing and financing models. Such a welcome air of transparency that is so rarely seen in any institution, doing wonders for building trust within the community. The CoB team are an absolute role model 🫡

"Why is publishing so expensive?" It's a question I hear all the time, so we at @biologists.bsky.social thought we'd try to dispel some of the myths around publishing economics & provide transparency around our costs. Today, we publish editorials in all 5 of our journals - links in the thread below.

Who is making jokes at scientific conferences? Which type of joke land? To find out, we collected quantitative data on jokes at 14 scientific conferences – now published OA in @royalsociety.org ProcB: doi.org/10.1098/rspb... w/ @rcorreia.bsky.social @andreasantangeli.bsky.social and more

Woah what a cool cover!!! Beautifully merges some of my favourite things - science, sci-fi and of course, axolotls 😍

In animals with large genomes, finding cis-regulatory elements can be very challenging. Enhancers can be located tens/hundreds of kb away from their target promoters. We face this challenge in Parhyale, with >3 Gbp genome. We just published a preprint describing how we are tackling this problem. /1

New research group at the CRTD @tudresden.bsky.social !🎉🔬 Supported by the ERC Starting Grant, Dr. Anna Czarkwiani @aniaczark.bsky.social is launching a new group to study the sense of gravity and #regeneration in the inner ear in axolotl. Read more ➡️ tud.link/buva24 #CMCBnews

A new #ScienceImmunology study finds that juvenile axolotls can regenerate their thymus from scratch after complete removal, which could inform future therapeutics for aging or immune-compromised patients. https://scim.ag/3Y1XbBQ

Molecular basis for de novo thymus regeneration in a vertebrate, the axolotl

The molecular, cellular, and functional restoration of the axolotl thymus after de novo regeneration is described.

scim.ag

Axolotls are famous for regenerating limbs. Turns out they can also regenerate their thymus—and that may show us how to someday to the same. That story and more of the best from @science.org and science in this edition of #ScienceAdviser: www.science.org/content/arti... 🧪
