Posted by , on 3 January 2019

Welcome to our monthly trawl for developmental biology (and related) preprints. 


December’s haul includes a succession of preprints on Drosophila patterning (embryos, wings, brains and intestines), single cell investigations into the neural crest, hair cells, spinal cord and retina, a comparison of  primate brain organoids, and plant development covered from root to shoot.

The preprints were hosted on bioRxivPeerJ, and arXiv. Let us know if we missed anything, and use these links to get to the section you want:
