    Spotlight – In vivo imaging: shining a light on stem cells in the living animal

    Phong Dang Nguyen and Peter David Currie highlight how recent advances in imaging technologies have enabled stem cells to be visualised in real time within intact organ systems, revealing novel aspects of their behaviour, especially in response to injury.


    Review – The ontogeny, activation and function of the epicardium during heart development and regeneration

    In a historical and current Review of comparative studies, Filipa C. Simões and Paul R. Riley, provide insight into the epicardium during heart development and regeneration: origins, formation, cell fate, signalling activity, interaction with the local environment and therapeutic potential.


    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.


    On the Node – The people behind the papers

    Volvocine algae provide a useful and fascinating model to study how the eukaryote transition from isogamy to anisogamy, and ultimately to oogamy occurred. A new Research Article explores the genetics of the process in Volvox and some of its relatives. The Node caught up with first author Sa Geng and his PI James Umen to hear the story behind the work.


    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.


    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!
