In 2014, the BSDB has initiated the Gurdon Summer Studentship program with the intention to provide highly motivated students with exceptional qualities and a strong interest in Developmental Biology an ...Posted by Seema Grewal, on 18 November 2014
Here are the highlights from the new issue of Development: Akt acts to reprogram germ cells Primordial germ cells (PGCs) are unipotent – they go on to form germline ...Posted by Jimann Shin, on 17 November 2014
We recently demonstrated an improved method for homologous recombination (HR)-mediated genome editing using TALEN (Transcription activator-like effector nuclease) in zebrafish (Shin et al., 2014). In the study, we identified that ...Posted by Patrick Tschopp, on 17 November 2014
The morphological evolution of limbs and external genitalia were both essential adaptions to a life on land. While the former deals with the novel locomotory challenges facing an animal invading ...Posted by Federico Luzzati, on 13 November 2014
In the early ‘90s, the discovery of neural stem cells in the adult brain aroused hope to exploit these cells to treat neurodegenerative diseases or even induce brain regeneration. Yet, ...Posted by Kate Doherty, on 4 November 2014
Hello! We’ve got lots of new things to share, including a film and fact sheet combo that looks at cell fate, cell identity and reprogramming, a closer look at an ...Posted by Seema Grewal, on 4 November 2014
Here are the highlights from the current issue of Development: Meristem maintenance is KNOX so simple Class I KNOX transcription factors, such as SHOOT MERISTEMLESS (STM) and KNAT1, are known ...Posted by hirokin, on 4 November 2014
Chicken, quail, zebra finch, emu, duck, crow……a simple glimpse and we immediately realize how the Aves have, as a model system left their traces in various fields of biological research. ...Posted by Shashank Gandhi, on 31 October 2014
Researchers have always been interested in tissue-specific loss of function to probe the role of specific genes in embryonic development, cell physiology and disease conditions. Migration of lateral plate primordial ...Posted by IRBBarcelona, on 29 October 2014
The study, performed with fruit flies, describes a gene that determines whether a specialized cell conserves the capacity to become a stem cell again. Unveiling the genetic traits that favour ...
