Free Online Access to Journal of Biology

By grrlscientist on January 19, 2006.

The latest collection of articles in Journal of Biology is now available to view free of charge on the Journal of Biology website. The Journal of Biology is the open access journal for exceptional research. Published by BioMed Central, it provides free access to research articles of the broadest importance and interest. By providing immediate, permanent, unrestricted access to these articles, Journal of Biology ensures the widest possible dissemination of the research it publishes.

In the most current issue avaliable, the featured open access article written by Dr. Lukas Sommer and colleagues reveal that important structures in developing mouse eyes originate from neural crest cells controlled by TGFÃ signals from the lens, providing insight into human conditions that result in glaucoma and blindness [PDF].

You can register for full access to this online journal.
