The key results of our recent paper in Nature Cell Biology Cell polarization defines the spatial biological specificities in a cell. During the first cell cycle of a C. elegans ...Posted by Ahmed Elewa, on 18 January 2018
The epic journey of embryogenesis begins with a set of maternal instructions. These instructions are in the form of transcribed mRNA, some even translated into proteins and ready for action. ...Posted by Georgia Rapti, on 20 October 2017
It’s all about the wires. But what about the glue? Networks make us who we are. I am not talking about social networks but about neural networks that define how ...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 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 Interviews, on 30 March 2017
This year marks the centenary of D’Arcy Thompson’s On Growth and Form, an attempt to outline the physical and mathematical principles underpinning the generation of biological form. Modern day developmental biologists, ...Posted by anups11, on 14 February 2017
Broad perspective Successful division was an essential criterion for establishing the cell as the basic unit of life on earth. Later, cell-cell adhesion made possible the evolution of multicellular life ...Posted by Liangyu Zhang, on 19 March 2016
By Liangyu Zhang and Abby F. Dernburg The nematode Caenorhabidis elegans is among the most widely used and powerful model organisms for studying mechanisms underlying cellular and developmental processes. ...Posted by Journal of Cell Science, on 15 September 2015
This interview first featured in the Journal of Cell Science and is part of their interview series Cell Scientists to Watch Philip Zegerman earned his undergraduate degree from the University ...Posted by BSDB, on 3 February 2015
In 2014, the British Society of Developmental Biology (BSDB) has initiated the Gurdon Summer Studentship program with the intention to provide highly motivated students with exceptional qualities and a strong ...
