Checkpoints ensure that mouse oocytes with DNA damage arrest in meiosis I, preventing non-viable embryo formation, however the mechanisms which activate this checkpoint have so far eluded researchers. This week ...Posted by the Node Interviews, on 29 September 2017
Cell polarisation is crucial for normal development and controlled by complex molecular interactions in the cytoplasm and at the membrane. Today we feature a paper recently published in Developmental Cell that describes a single-cell biochemistry technique ...Posted by the Node, on 22 September 2017
This interview by Aidan Maartens appeared in Development, Vol 144 Issue 18 George Daley is Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, Professor of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology, and Caroline ...Posted by the Node Interviews, on 20 September 2017
Development often involves the asymmetric partitioning of cellular components to daughters, and this process is crucial for successful gametogenesis. Today’s paper, published in the current issue of Development, explores the cytoskeletal ...Posted by the Node, on 17 August 2017
This interview by Aidan Maartens originally appeared in Development, Volume 143, Issue 16. Jennifer Nichols is a Principal Investigator at the Cambridge Stem Cell Institute and Department of Physiology, Development and Neuroscience ...Posted by the Node Interviews, on 16 August 2017
Embryogenesis begins with fertilisation, and defective activation of the egg by the sperm is implicated in human infertility. Today’s paper, published in the most recent issue of Development, investigates the ...Posted by the Node, on 3 August 2017
To interview Jim Smith I took a train to London and visited the Francis Crick Institute for the first time. The building had opened in 2016 and, by the time ...Posted by the Node Interviews, on 2 August 2017
Ion channels are famous for their roles in neurons and muscles, but the spectrum of phenotypes seen in ion channel mutants indicate a diversity of roles in development; the underlying ...Posted by radikes, on 21 July 2017
Evan Brooks is a rising senior at North Carolina State University. For the past two years, he has worked in the lab of Nanette Nascone-Yoder studying the developmental mechanisms of ...Posted by the Node Interviews, on 21 July 2017
The Drosophila tracheal system is a powerful model for understanding the genetic and cell biological control of tubulogenesis. In their new PLoS Genetics paper, Ivette Olivares-Castiñeira and her PI Marta Llimargas of ...
