This month on the Node

Posted by , on 11 November 2016

A roundup of the Node’s highlights from October 2016. 

 

preprints

 

October’s most discussed post came from Development’s Executive Editor Katherine Brown, who reported from a workshop on preprints in Cambridge and gave a journal’s perspective on the promises and challenges of preprinting. The comments section is worth reading, as is this recent post from the organiser of the workshop, Alfonso Martinez-Arias.

We also continued our regular round up of preprints in developmental biology: September featured cell mechanics, cell divisions, and mesoderm development.

We  heard from the DMDD about their latest screen into the genetics of neonatal death in mice, and from the IRB about the 18th Barcelona Biomedical Conference focussing on the insights developmental biology can give into pathology. Development’s sister journal Disease Models & Mechanisms announced a Special Collection all about rats.

I reported from Development’s meeting on human development and stem cells (and included jittering scientists and some optical heritage), and the BSDB reported from their Autumn Meeting on the use of chimeras in developmental biology.

Finally, we heard from Matthew Towers and Joseph Pickering, authors of a recent Development paper on digit patterning in the chick.
