The CPLANE complex is essential for ciliogenesis, and mutations to all but one subunit have been associated with ciliopathies. Here they identify three familial mutations in the final subunit, RSG1, t...

Cranial neural crest cells (NCCs) undergo dynamic processes during embryonic development, including delamination from the neural tube by epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), migration to the pe...

The enteric nervous system (ENS) is the intrinsic nervous system of the gut and controls essential functions, such as gut motility, intestinal barrier function, and water balance. The ENS displays a c...

Organized by Tatjana Sauka-Spengler, Ph.D., and Ruth Williams, Ph.D.

Embryonic exposures to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have been linked to preterm birth, neural tube closure defects, abnormal enteric…

A study on the evolutionary origin of the mammalian outer ear finds that it shares genetic programs with the gills of fishes and amphibians, indicating that elements of an ancestral gill have been reu...

Molecular Biosystems Conference

CRISPR-Cas13 RNA-targeting systems comprise an invaluable set of tools in the fields of basic and applied sciences. Here, Moreno-Sánchez, Hernández-Huertas, and Nahón-Cano et al. enhanced the use of t...

Find out how to observe a Wellcome funding advisory committee. Researchers who are considering applying for Wellcome funding in the next two years can apply to observe a shortlisting committee.

Molecular Biosystems Conference

Neural crest (NC) cells form a multipotent stem cell population specified during neurulation, which undergo an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and migrate extensively in the developing embr...

ABSTRACT. Developmental biologists can perform studies that describe a phenomenon (descriptive work) and/or explain how the phenomenon works (mechanistic work). There is a prevalent perception that mo...

The herbicide glyphosate is widely used in agricultural practices around the world, can reach aquatic environments, and potentially impact non-target organisms. This study aimed to investigate the eff...

Root hair (RH) cells can elongate to several hundred times their initial size, and are an ideal model system for investigating cell size control. Their development is influenced by both endogenous a.....

Join us for the highly anticipated third EMBO workshop on Enhancer Mechanics and Enhanceropathies! Building on the success of our previous meetings in Santander (2021) and Marseilles (2023), this eve…
