A new Editor-in-Chief for Development
“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.
