Pitx2c sets the stage for gastrulation

Posted by , 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 ...

Borders and communities: solving old puzzles with new tools

Posted by , 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 ...

The dorsal root of the matter: Using zebrafish to study the importance of movement on early brain growth

Posted by , on 8 May 2018

In our recent paper published in eLife, we found a novel form of movement-dependent neural feedback that drives early forebrain growth in zebrafish. In this article, I discuss the problems, ...
