The Drosophila tracheal system is a powerful model for understanding the genetic and cell biological control of tubulogenesis. In their new PLoS Genetics paper, Ivette Olivares-Castiñeira and her PI Marta Llimargas of ...Posted by the Node Interviews, on 20 July 2017
Development depends on cells coming together in the right place to form functioning tissues. Our latest paper in this series was published recently in Current Biology and asks what happens to ...Posted by the Node Interviews, on 9 June 2017
Development of the placental vasculature – known as the labyrinth – is critical for foetal development. Today’s paper comes from the most recent issue of Development and addresses the signalling events ...Posted by the Node Interviews, on 25 May 2017
Cell sorting is a critical process during development, as differently specified cells are segregated to the right parts of the embryo. Differences in cell adhesion and cortical tension are thought ...Posted by the Node Interviews, on 11 May 2017
Our 20th instalment of this series comes from South Korea and features an investigation into the molecular basis of how temperature influences developmental transitions in Arabidopsis seedlings, recently published in Developmental Cell. We ...Posted by the Node Interviews, on 13 April 2017
In spite of our external appearance, our innards are asymmetric. For today’s interview, we feature a paper published recently in Development that provides a cellular and molecular investigation into symmetry breaking in a poorly understood ...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 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 the Node Interviews, on 15 March 2017
The use of organoids – which can be defined as artificially grown masses of cells or tissue that resemble organs – in basic and clinical research has snowballed in recent years, providing ...Posted by the Node Interviews, on 21 February 2017
Conjoined twins have fascinated biologists for centuries. In twins joined at the thorax, left-right patterning is disrupted, but only in one half of the right hand twins. Today’s paper, from ...
