One of the biggest open questions in biology is how organisms can form complex patterns (limbs, organs, entire body plans) from initially disordered or very simple states. Every animal does ...Posted by the Node Interviews, on 28 May 2019
This interview, the 63rd in our series, was recently published in Development Butterfly eyespots are striking examples of animal patterning, but their developmental origins are still relatively poorly understood. A new paper in ...Posted by rorylcooper, on 7 November 2018
Understanding how complex biological patterns arise is a long standing and fascinating area of scientific research. The patterning, or spatial arrangement, of vertebrate skin appendages (such as feathers, hair and ...Posted by yzhang, on 29 June 2018
The story behind melanocyte BACE2, posted by Yan Zhang and Richard White. You can read our recently published full article at Developmental Cell using this link. Our story began six ...Posted by Garcia Lab, on 19 June 2018
We recently published a manuscript in Cell that describes a method to image transcription factor concentration dynamics in real time, in living embryos, using a nanobody-based protein tag that we ...Posted by David Wilkinson, on 10 May 2018
An important question in developmental biology is how regions with distinct identity are established despite the intermingling of cells that occurs during growth and morphogenesis. Our recent work revisited some ...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 Interviews, on 7 April 2017
Macrophages are usually associated with immunity, but have increasingly appreciated functions in development and homeostasis. This week we meet the authors of a recent Science paper that identified a role ...Posted by Adrienne Roeder, on 22 March 2017
Heather M. Meyer1, José Teles2, and Pau Formosa-Jordan2 1 Weill Institute for Cell and Molecular Biology and the graduate field of Genetics, Genomics, and Development, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, ...Posted by the Node, on 20 October 2015
This interview first featured in Development. Mike Levine, director of the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics at Princeton University, is a developmental biologist who has dedicated his career to understanding ...
