Summary

The low-affinity receptor for leukemia inhibitory factor (LIFR) interacts with gp130 to induce an intracellular signal cascade. The LIFR-gp130 heterodimer is implicated in the function of diverse systems. Normal placentation is disrupted in LIFR mutant animals, which leads to poor intrauterine nutrition but allows fetuses to continue to term. Fetal bone volume is reduced greater than three-fold and the number of osteoclasts is increased six-fold, resulting in severe osteopenia of perinatal bone. Astrocyte numbers are reduced in the spinal cord and brain stem. Late gestation fetal livers contain relatively high stores of glycogen, indicating a metabolic disorder. Hematologic and primordial germ cell compartments appear normal. Pleiotropic defects in the mutant animals preclude survival beyond the day of birth.

Spotlight – An interview with Bill Harris

“From that very first time when I looked through the scanning electron microscope as an undergraduate, I was hooked on seeing the microscopic world”

Bill HarrisBill Harris, winner of the BSDB's Waddington medal, talks about his early career transition from behaviour to neurodevelopment, the modelling that helped him understand the retina and his biology-inspired art.

Review – Human haematopoietic stem cell development: from the embryo to the dish

Chronology of human haematopoietic development

Alexander Medvinsky and colleagues summarises in a Review what is known regarding the emergence of the human haematopoietic system in vivo, and apply this knowledge to the generation of bona fide human haematopoietic stem cells in vitro.

The Node – getting to know us

The Node logo

The Node’s present and past Community Managers Aidan Maartens and Catarina Vicente, with Development’s Executive Editor Katherine Brown, write about how the Node came to be your online developmental biology community hub. Their article in Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology is part of a Special Issue on science communication.

Transfer to Biology Open

If your submission to Development is unsuccessful, did you know you can transfer your paper and any reviews directly to our sister journal, Biology Open? The majority of papers transferred with reviews are accepted for publication. Find out how here.
