Model systems for regeneration: zebrafish

In the latest in our series of primers showcasing the animal models used in regeneration research, Nadia Mercader and colleagues summarise the tools and experimental approaches that have made the zebrafish a valuable model for studying organ regeneration.

Development at a Glance – Hippo signalling during development

In their poster and accompanying article, John Robert Davis and Nicolas Tapon describe the core Hippo pathway, its regulation and the role it plays in animal development.

In their new Review, Erik Clark and colleagues describe the regulation and evolution of segment patterning in arthropods, covering the experimental discoveries and conceptual advances of the past 15 years.
