Summary

We have used a combination of quail-chick fate-mapping techniques and dye labelling to investigate the development of the avian cerebellum. Using Hoxa2 as a guide for the microsurgical construction of quail-chick chimaeras, we show that the caudal boundary of the presumptive cerebellum at E6 maps to the caudal boundary of rhombomere 1. By fate mapping the dorsoventral axis of rhombomere 1, we demonstrate that granule cell precursors are generated at the rhombic lip together with neurons of the lateral pontine nucleus. DiI-labelling of cerebellum explants reveals that external germinal layer precursors have a characteristic unipolar morphology and undergo an orientated, active migration away from the rhombic lip, which is apparently independent of either glial or axon guidance or ‘chain’ formation.

An interview with Swathi Arur

Swathi Arur joined the team at Development as an Academic Editor in 2020. Her lab uses multidisciplinary approaches to understand female germline development and fertility. We met with her over Zoom to hear more about her life, her career and her love for C. elegans.


Jim Wells and Hanna Mikkola join our team of Editors

We are pleased to welcome James (Jim) Wells and Hanna Mikkola to our team of Editors. Jim joins us a new Academic Editor, taking over from Gordan Keller, and Hanna joins our team of Associate Editors. Find out more about their research interests and areas of expertise.


New funding scheme supports sustainable events

As part of our Sustainable Conferencing Initiative, we are pleased to announce funding for organisers that seek to reduce the environmental footprint of their event. The next deadline to apply for a Scientific Meeting grant is 26 March 2021.


Read & Publish participation continues to grow

“I’d heard of Read & Publish deals and knew that many universities, including mine, had signed up to them but I had not previously understood the benefits that these deals bring to authors who work at those universities.”

Professor Sally Lowell (University of Edinburgh) shares her experience of publishing Open Access as part of our growing Read & Publish initiative. We now have over 150 institutions in 15 countries and four library consortia taking part – find out more and view our full list of participating institutions.
