Spotlight – An interview with Elly Tanaka
“The fact that the axolotl can regenerate what looks morphologically like a fully formed limb is very significant and something above and beyond development.”
Elly Tanaka chats to Executive Editor Katherine Brown about how she became interested in regeneration and why the axolotl is such a great model, as well as the importance of giving a voice to the next generation of researchers.
Development at a glance – Wnt signaling in development and tissue homeostasis
This new poster and article from Zachary Steinhart and Stephane Angers gives an overview of Wnt-β-catenin signalling, highlighting its key functions during development and adult tissue homeostasis.
Meeting review – A symphony of stem cells in Vienna – looking to the future
Enzo R. Porrello and Agnete Kirkeby look back over how the first SY-Stem meeting in Vienna brought together emerging leaders in stem cell biology, laying the foundations for dynamic future collaborations.
The people behind the papers – Kana Ishimatsu, Tom Hiscock and Sean Megason
A new Research Article uses size-reduced zebrafish embryos to investigate the molecular underpinnings of how somites scale in size with the overall size of the embryo. The Node chats to authors Kana Ishimatsu, Tom Hiscock and Sean Megason to find out more about the story.
Call for papers: Development at the single cell level
Development is pleased to welcome submissions for an upcoming special issue on ‘Development at the single cell level’, guest-edited by Allon Klein and Barbara Treutlein. This special issue aims to showcase the best research in stem cell and developmental biology, building on the rapidly evolving tools of single cell analysis. Submission deadline: 31 October 2018.
