How do developing animals sense nutritional shortages and adjust their growth accordingly? A new study in PLOS Biology shows that the developing intestine is a central regulator of a multi-organ signa...

Basement membranes are scaffolds of proteins, like collagen, that give organs shape. During development, basement membranes must adapt to the growing organ. We infer how fast the basement membrane ada...

In Drosophila, cell fate switching in adult intestinal stem cells is determined through an epigenetic mechanism in which these cells count divisions, switching from producing enterocytes to producing ...

This article uncovers a natural, programmable metamaterial in the developing Drosophila eye. The precise 3D curvature of the adult compound eye is programmed during development by a microscopic, 2D tr...

Summary: This Editorial offers an honest look at impact factor trends in developmental biology, explains how Development serves its community, and makes the case that sustaining developmental biology ...
