DMM and COVID-19
We are aware that the COVID-19 pandemic is having an unprecedented impact on researchers worldwide. The Editors of all The Company of Biologists’ journals have been considering ways in which we can alleviate concerns that members of our community may have around publishing activities during this time. Read about the actions we are taking at this time.
Please don’t hesitate to contact the Editorial Office if you have any questions or concerns.
A Model for Life – Elizabeth McNally and Louis Kunkel
Human geneticist and cardiologist Elizabeth McNally discusses her first experiences in science and the effort we all need to make to facilitate diversity in science, while Louis Kunkel tells us about talks about his discovery of dystrophin.
On the cover of our special issue, Demonbreun et al. present muscle fiber typing from a newly created mouse model of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy generated by gene editing.
Non-canonical autophagy in innate immune defence in vivo
preLighter Kirsty Hooper, The Babraham Institute, Cambridge, UK, discusses a preprint showing that loss of non-canonical autophagy in mice increases sensitivity to influenza A virus infection.
The Biology Open transfer option
DMM authors can transfer their submission to our sister journal Biology Open with just one click. An online Open Access journal, BiO also welcomes direct submissions and focuses on the swift publication of high-quality, sound research. Recent disease modelling highlights in BiO include work by Liu et al. investigating transgenic replenishment strategies targeting myocardial and non-myocardial tissues in the zebrafish. Find out more about how to transfer.
Editor’s choice
Highlighted by the Guest editors of our special issue, Grunwald and colleagues use zebrafish to investigate interactions among ryanodine receptor isotypes in muscle development and function, while Claire Wood et al. tests the mdx:Cmah−/− mouse to investigate growth and skeletal development in Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
