Overexpression of Lhx1 (magenta) in the outer layer of the optic vesicle results in formation of the second neural retina in the chick embryo. An EGFP expression plasmid (green) was co-electroporated with the Lhx1 expression vector. The upper epithelium was supposed to be a single layer of the pigmented epithelium, but partly transformed to the second pseudostratified neural retina, whereas the lower epithelium is the authentic neural retina. Nuclei were stained with DAPI. See the article by Kawaue et al. (doi: 10.1242/bio.20121396)

The remarkable cellular diversity of the African turquoise killifish telencephalon
African turquoise killifish have a remarkably short natural lifespan and their central nervous system has human-like ageing. Caroline Zandecki and colleagues reveal the cellular diversity during the explosive growth of the telencephalon.
Propose a new Workshop for 2027
We are currently seeking proposals for Workshops to be held in 2027. As one of the scientific organisers of a The Company of Biologists Workshop, your involvement will be focused on interdisciplinary, cutting-edge science and promoting new partnerships and collaborations. We focus on the logistics. Are you thinking about proposing a topic for one of our Workshops? Apply by Friday 30 May 2025.
