I recently attended the biennial Development, Cell Biology and Gene Expression C. elegans Meeting, this time in combination with the 2018 European Worm Meeting, in Barcelona. C. elegans meetings are ...Posted by MBBaghdadi, on 7 July 2018
In our recent paper published in Nature, we unravel a new mechanism of an extracellular matrix protein secreted by muscle satellite (stem) cells, thereby playing the unusual role of acting ...Posted by imartyn, on 5 July 2018
Iain Martyn & Tatiane Kanno share their experiences of the discovery of the human organizer “It’s alive!” Iain’s first impressions “Hybrid human chicken embryos: HALF HUMAN – ...Posted by yzhang, on 29 June 2018
The story behind melanocyte BACE2, posted by Yan Zhang and Richard White. You can read our recently published full article at Developmental Cell using this link. Our story began six ...Posted by Zubair, on 29 June 2018
4WH Neurogenesis: What Where Why When and How? Neurogenesis is understood as the process by which neural stem cells (NSCs) produce new neurons. In the adult mammalian brain, this process ...Posted by hblockus, on 28 June 2018
In early June, a group of 30 world-leading experts came together thanks to an invitation by the Company of Biologists to Wiston House (Sussex, UK) to discuss our current understanding ...Posted by Nicolas Rivron, on 27 June 2018
In our recently published paper1, we showed that mouse stem cells self-organize into blastocyst-like structures, that we termed blastoids. Because blastoids can be generated in large numbers, can be finely ...Posted by Joachim Goedhart, on 26 June 2018
Experiments are rarely performed in isolation. Usually, several conditions are compared in parallel or sequential experiments. This experimental strategy also applies to time-dependent data, e.g. from timelapse imaging. So, naturally, ...Posted by Francoise HELMBACHER, on 20 June 2018
An emerging trend in developmental biology focuses on the role of cell adhesion in modulating tissue morphogenesis. Spectacular advances have shed light on how modulation of adhesion between equivalent cells ...Posted by Garcia Lab, on 19 June 2018
We recently published a manuscript in Cell that describes a method to image transcription factor concentration dynamics in real time, in living embryos, using a nanobody-based protein tag that we ...
