Wow, congratulations Eurico and the whole team!

and no more spoilers! Check it out to see how we found that RhoGAP15B locally suppresses RhoA-Myosin at the front of the cluster, creating a relaxed zone that promotes protrusive activity, letting leader cells move forward while the cluster stays coordinated.

We found that multiple RhoGAP15B genetic perturbations indeed disrupt normal border cell migration

Breakdown of costs for JCS in 2025. Pie chart: Editorial salaries and stipends - 19%; In-house production salaries - 23%; Manuscript processing and publication costs - 7%; Travel and expenses - 3%; Marketing - 6%; Sales - 8%; Community engagement - 5%; General expenses/overheads - 29%.

Why is publishing so expensive?

In this Editorial, we (@katherine-brown.bsky.social @drmichaelway.bsky.social & @seemagrewal.bsky.social) provide details and context on JCS's finances, and hope to dispel some of the myths around the economics of publishing.
