The spatial organization of post-transcriptional regulation is a fundamental yet difficult to access layer of tissue biology. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small RNAs with a key role in post-transcriptional ...

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 ...

Experiments using the comb jelly Mnemiopsis leidyi and the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis reveal that the emergence of a core signalling pathway may have been a key innovation enabling the transit...

The reliable generation of diverse cell types in precise proportions is essential for the formation of functional tissues during embryonic development. Three-dimensional organoid models derived from p...

Artificial intelligence is rapidly accelerating scientific output, but risks narrowing inquiry, weakening judgement and undermining how scientists are trained.

The formation of neural circuits depends on the precise spatial and temporal organisation of neuronal populations during development. In the vertebrate spinal cord, progenitors are patterned into mole...

The FlyBase team’s fundraising efforts have proven successful in the short term, but restoration of its federal grant remains uncertain.

As biomedical research prioritizes human models and translational promise, classic model organisms are increasingly dismissed. Here we argue that they have a lasting value, both in enabling discovery and in cultivating scientific thinking, by training researchers in systems reasoning, integrative thinking and independent inquiry.

Copy number variations (CNVs) drive cancer progression. So far, spatial CNV inference has relied on whole transcriptome-based sequencing technologies. However, advances in image‐based spatial transcriptomics (iST) now enable high-plex gene measurement in situ. Here, we introduce an approach that adapts CNV inference to iST data, enabling spatial mapping of malignant clones and the tumor microenvironment, at single-cell resolution. Additionally, we assess how panel size and detection efficiency influence CNV inference. ### Competing Interest Statement S.M.S is co-founder of spatialist AB, a spatial omics consultancy company.

Joseph Parker and Matt Pennell propose gene expression programs — sets of co-expressed transcripts that collectively encode cellular subfunctions — as fundamental entities from which novel organismal ...

Complex neural circuits likely arose independently in birds and mammals, suggesting that vertebrates evolved intelligence multiple times.

The amniote pallium contains sensory circuits that are structurally and functionally equivalent, yet their evolutionary relationship remains unresolved. We used birthdating analysis, single-cell RNA a...
