Addgene is a global, nonprofit repository that was created to help scientists share plasmids. Before we go over the developmental biology resources available at Addgene, here’s a little background on ...Posted by the Node Interviews, on 6 November 2017
Embryonic patterning is dependent on the establishment of the anteroposterior (AP) and dorsoventral axes early in development. In mammals this occurs by a breaking of symmetry in the epiblast, however ...Posted by the Node, on 2 November 2017
Our latest monthly trawl for developmental biology (and other cool) preprints. Let us know if we missed anything. October was a monster month for preprinting (a burst of post-summer ...Posted by the Node Interviews, on 18 October 2017
During spermatogenesis, progenitor cells must undergo tightly regulated changes to produce functional gametes. However, the genetic control of this process in humans has eluded researchers. This week we feature a ...Posted by Dai Jianli, on 16 October 2017
The Great Wall of Collagen IV During the long history of evolution, the key innovation that gave rise to animals with true tissues was the extracellular matrix, very conserved from ...Posted by the Node, on 5 October 2017
This interview by Aidan Maartens appeared in Development, Vol 144 Issue 19 Jayaraj (Jay) Rajagopal is a Principal Investigator at the Center for Regenerative Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital and ...Posted by the Node, on 3 October 2017
Our latest monthly trawl for developmental biology (and other cool) preprints. See last year’s introductory post for background, and let us know if we missed anything. This month features butterfly eyespots, brain development in ...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 jamesglover1, on 28 September 2017
The story behind our recent paper ‘Hierarchical patterning modes orchestrate hair follicle morphogenesis‘ , finding that distinct patterning mechanisms can co-exist during embryonic organ formation. From the spots of ...Posted by Noami Dayan, on 26 September 2017
New research conducted at the stem cell centre, DanStem, at the University of Copenhagen shows that insulin is a key determinant of embryonic stem cell potency in mammals. When large ...
