Read the behind the scenes story of a recent article by Dr. Natalia (Natasha) Shylo, Dr. Paul Trainor and colleagues at Stowers Institute for Medical Research.Posted by Nick Hopwood, on 24 January 2022
Developmental biologists might be interested in a just-published article about Lewis Wolpert’s famous saying, ‘“Not birth, marriage or death but gastrulation”: the life of a quotation in biology’. The piece ...Posted by Mikawa Lab, on 12 February 2020
By Lisandro Maya-Ramos and Takashi Mikawa Bilaterality, the property of having two symmetrical sides, is widely conserved among animals. It is estimated that 99% of all animal species are bilaterians, ...Posted by jorgetorrespaz, on 6 December 2019
The discipline “Evo-devo” studies the developmental basis of morphological evolution. In the field, some original animal models are emerging as interesting model organisms, enriching the knowledge in the field more ...Posted by the Node, on 1 October 2018
This is the latest dispatch from a recipient of a Development Travelling Fellowship, funded by our publisher The Company of Biologists. Learn more about the scheme, including how to apply, here, ...Posted by Michelle Collins, on 23 August 2018
In our recently published paper https://elifesciences.org/articles/34880, we report that the transcription factor Pitx2c has an unexpected role during gastrulation, where it acts cell non-autonomously to promote mesendodermal cell migration required ...Posted by Nitya Ramkumar, on 31 January 2017
Comment on “Crumbs2 promotes cell ingression during the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition at gastrulation” Ramkumar N, Omelchenko T, Silva-Gagliardi NF, McGlade CJ, Wijnholds J, Anderson KV. Nat Cell Biol. 2016 Dec;18(12):1281-1291 “It is not birth, marriage, or ...Posted by Christoph Viebahn, on 5 January 2015
Form and function of animal gastrulation have been longstanding classics accompanying the rise of experimental embryology, and – as if to square the circle in the literal sense – the ...Posted by Octavian Voiculescu, on 6 June 2014
Cells move in (still) mysterious ways to achieve morphogenesis. Prominently, cells of an early vertebrate embryo (blastula, a mass of undifferentiated cells) move extensively during gastrulation to generate the three ...Posted by Gary McDowell, on 19 August 2013
For decades, the development of the early embryo and patterning of tissues has been studied with the help of a workhorse of developmental biology, the frog embryo. Xenopus embryos are ...
