Summary

A new monoclonal antibody, MEBL-1, which specifically melanocytes and their precursors, was used to examine differentiation of neural crest cells into melanocytes positive precursors of melanocytes in the trunk were mesenchyme located above the neural tube at the level stage 19, when active migration of neural crest cells route was almost complete. DiO-labelled neural crest to emigrate from the neural tube at stages 17–18 and the dorsolateral route, were found to become MEBL-1- indicates that MEBL-1 antigens are expressed by neural immediately following their emigration and neural melanogenic. Expression of the MEBL-1 antigens was in, and finally the loss of, HNK-1 antigen expression. level, MEBL-1-positive precursors of melanocytes were mesenchyme located above the dorsal side of the tube at stage 16. At the vagal level, the precursors in mesenchyme located above the dorsal side of the neural tube at stage 18. MEBL-1 reacted with the cell premelanosome-like granules in addition to the nuclear endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus of the The antigens recognized by MEBL-1 were proteins with masses of 135×103 and 115×103. We suggest that MEBL-1 earliest marker for melanogenic neural crest cells.

A new Editor-in-Chief for Development

http://dev.biologists.org/sites/default/files/Snippet/0318_News.jpg

“I'm very keen that Development continues to innovate and support our community.”

We're delighted to announce the appointment of James Briscoe, Group Leader at The Francis Crick Institute, London, as our new Editor-in-Chief. Read our interview with James to find out his career and research interests, the importance of interdisciplinary thinking in developmental biology, and his views on the current state and future opportunities in scientific publishing. Also, check out the Editorial from Sarah Bray, Kate Storey and Katherine Brown to learn more about the announcement, and about our recent community consultation.


Review – Developing in 3D: the role of CTCF in cell differentiation

In this Review, Rodrigo G. Arzate-Mejía, Félix Recillas-Targa and Victor G. Corces discuss evidence linking CTCF to the control of developmental processes in various cell and tissue types through 3D organization of the genome.


From stem cells to human development ­– meeting reporter competition

In September, Development is hosting our next meeting focusing on human developmental biology. We are excited to announce a competition for a reporter to cover the meeting for the Node. The winner will get free registration to the meeting, and it’s a fantastic opportunity to practice your science communication skills - find out more here.


Spotlight ­– Susan Strome

“I realised that I could think it through on my own – I didn't require that my advisor tell me what to do or how to do it”

Recently appointed an editor at Development, we caught up with Susan to discuss her early career switch from prokaryotes to worms, her experiences of small and big science, and why teaching is so important to her.


On the Node – The people behind the papers

Development and homeostasis depend crucially on the maintenance of cell identity, and in gamete-producing tissues the somatic/germline distinction is paramount. A recent paper in Development explores how cell identity is secured in the Drosophila ovary by studying the function of the conserved tumour suppressor L(3)mbt. To find out more about the story, the Node caught up with first author Rémi-Xavier Coux and his supervisor Ruth Lehmann of the Skirball Institute at New York University School of Medicine.  


Santa Cruz Developmental Biology Meeting

Development is a proud sponsor of the upcoming Santa Cruz Developmental Biology Meeting, which takes place 11-15 August 2018 at the University of California, Santa Cruz . Registration for this meeting is now open!
