The notochord: development, disease and stem cell-based modelling In this Review, Julie Warin and colleagues discuss how #DevBio and #StemCell studies of the notochord can reveal key insights into spine formation and intervertebral disc development and maintenance. doi.org/10.1242/dev....
Schematic of the mouse embryonic node at the late bud stage, showing ventral and sagittal views. The diagram labels the pit, crown, motile cilia, nascent notochord, and surrounding progenitor cell populations, with arrows indicating cilia rotation and cell movement. Different tissues and cell types are color-coded and identified in a key.

Cytogeneticist Dr. Barbara McClintock won the 1983 #Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her study of corn chromosomes--revolutionizing the field of cytogenetics. She is the only woman to be awarded an unshared Nobel Prize in this category. She was born #OTD in 1902. #WomenInSTEM
A black-and-white photograph from 1947 of American cytogeneticist Dr. Barbara McClintock (1902–1992), who would later win the 1983 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discovering genetic transposition. She is seated in her laboratory at Cold Spring Harbor, deeply absorbed in her scientific work. Looking downward with a focused, serious expression, she wears delicate wire-rimmed glasses and a light-colored, buttoned lab coat over a collared shirt pinned with a round brooch. Her short, dark hair is parted to the side. Her right hand holds a fine tool over a petri dish, while her left hand rests carefully on the edge of another dish next to a glass specimen vial. On the table stands a large, black vintage compound microscope with multiple metal objectives. The composition centers on her meticulous hands and face, with a softly blurred background of lab shelves and window light, creating an intense, studious mood of historical scientific discovery.
