Cells & Development

From January 2021 MoD will become “CELLS & DEVELOPMENT”, subtitle: “CELL AND DEVELOPMENTAL BIOLOGY AND THEIR QUANTITATIVE APPROCHES”. We expect that C&D will become a forum for interdisciplinary research combining biology, physics and mathematics to study cell and dev biology

Roberto Mayor @mayor_lab, invited speaker at the #ICDB2025, will talk about their work on the mechanical and cellular properties of the vertebrate neural crest cells using frogs as a model 🐸🧪

Thrilled to give this talk in Santiago, Chile, as part of the @EMBO Lecture Series! A wonderful chance to reconnect with old friends and forge new connections. Open to all—hope to see you there! 🌎🎙️ #ScienceCommunity #EMBOLectures

Towing of lateral line axons in vivo in a transgenic zebrafish embryo. Great imaging at the @EMBO #DevBiol course in Quintay, Chile, using a @zeiss_micro Light Sheet microscope. Huge thanks to @InvestigaUMayor @CIBumayor @microxchile @leovaldevo @zebramayor & LiSIUM_Chile

Spectacular finale of the Drosophila lab at @EMBO #DevBiol course in Quintay, Chile! Students shared insights, supported by stunning images they captured—guided by Nipam Patel, @MBLScience Director, and supported by Mathew Parent from @MBLScience. #ScienceEducation

The @EMBO Dev Biol course in Quintay, Chile, dives into zebrafish embryos under the expert guidance of @CorinneHouart (@KingsCollegeLon) & @leovaldevo (@CIBumayor). Students are hands-on with exciting experiments, exploring the wonders of development! #DevBiol #Zebrafish

The @EMBO #DevBio course in Quintay, Chile is in full swing! Students are diving into Drosophila development with the amazing Nipam Patel, Director of @MBLScience, leading the way. Inspiring science in Latin America! #ScienceEducation

Join us in beautiful Quintay to celebrate 25 years of the Practical Course on Developmental Biology! To register go to biodesarrollo.unab.cl/mini-symposium… Come to enjoy a unique blend of science, sea, and food – all for free!

We're gearing up to kick off the EMBO #DevBio course in Quintay, Chile, for Latin American students in just a few days! 🎉 Huge thanks to @uandresbello, @DiarioMayor, @umayoroficial, @CIBumayor, @MBLScience, and @EMBO for making this possible! 🌎🧬 #ScienceEducation

The Gordon Research Conference and the accompanying Gordon Research Seminar for ECRs in Developmental Biology 2025 are now open for registration. The deadline for abstract submission is 20th January. You can check out the general program here: grc.org/developmental-…

We've moved over to BlueSky. You can find us at cellsdev.bsky.social. We'll continue to operate here but will slowly make the transition to our BlueSky account with the scientific community. Please find me there and let's build our community again.

Happy #FluorescenceFriday. Here is one super interesting video of quail skin explant showing an expansion of the vasculature within the growing feather buds over 2 days. I've never seen such a thing. You can read more here: doi.org/10.1016/j.cdev…

Happy spooky season, everyone 👻🎃🕯️. Hope everyone enjoys trick-or-treating. Here is a scary video of a cell with 9 nuclei. #Halloween #spooky

Inspired by @_BSDB_ 's latest video? Help us promote our call to sponsor early-career researchers in Cell & Developmental Biology at @UCLCDB, especially in areas tied to the new Center for Engineering Life (CEL) youtu.be/LlkVDYc8CgI?si… via @YouTube

This week on #FluorescenceFriday, we're going back to cell biology. The cells on the right-hand side are being stretched vertically, and look at how their microtubules (labeled with CLIP170-GFP) align along the same stretching axis. Left is the control. doi.org/10.1016/j.cdev…

Another week celebrating #FluorescenceFriday with this beautiful montage of zebrafish embryos stained for DAPI and neural crest cells at 3 different stages: 10, 17, and 26 somites taken by a talented PhD student @ZimengWu33 and postdoc Jonas Hartmann.

@JuanLerma1 @RACiencias Felicitaciones juan, muy merecido

Muy orgulloso de pertenecer a la @RACiencias y agradecido por la elección

🔎 Spotted in @CellsDev! Researchers from @Princeton and @bmsnews used DSHB's anti-FN1 [HFN 7.1] mAb in a study on FN-binding proteins and how it affects idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. 📄 tinyurl.com/2dxasd69 🧫 dshb.biology.uiowa.edu/HFN-7-1

Happy #FluorescenceFriday. This week, we are treated with this stunning video of cranial neural crest cells migrating in a zebrafish embryo by postdoc Jonas Hartmann @uclcdb. Also, check out his new paper describing a new concept called Core & Periphery: doi.org/10.1016/j.cels…

Thanks to all participants of the #SpemannMangold2024 Centennial Symposium, including our amazing speakers, for their great talks and all attendees whose interactions sparked fascinating discussions on self-organisation and #DevBiol. It’s an exciting time for our field!

Congratulations to Denis Duboule @Duboule for being awarded the 2025 ISDB Harrison Medal for his contributions to the understanding of gene regulation, particularly the Hox gene family, and their spatial collinearity in vertebrates 🎉🎉🏅 developmental-biology.org/news/2025-winn…
