Focus on techniques and resources
Technical innovations play a key role in the advancement of the developmental biology field, offering the potential to open up research challenges that once seemed intractable. Development recognises the importance of these advances, and our ‘Techniques and Resources’ section exists to promote papers that describe a novel technique, a substantial advance of an existing technique, or a new resource that will have a significant impact on developmental biology research.
In this collection, we showcase some of our recent Techniques and Resources papers, as well as review-based articles that discuss newly developed tools and approaches in the field. These papers cover a wide spectrum of animal and plant developmental and stem cell biology. We believe that these articles serve an important function in promoting the dissemination of new techniques and resources throughout the community, and hopefully inspires new research directions; we welcome your submissions.
Development presents... live stream of our Journal Meeting
Watch a session from Development’s Journal Meeting, Unconventional and Emerging Experimental Organisms in Cell and Developmental Biology which was live on the Node Monday 18 September.
Navigating a research career with a disability
Our two recent Perspectives articles explore the lived experiences of disabled scientists in our community. Kelsey L. Anbuhl and colleagues describe the lived experiences of five biologists who share the challenges and successes of undertaking a scientific career with a disability. Whereas Jack Darius Morgan reviews the literature exploring disabled scientists’ experiences in academia.
Focus on regeneration
Tissue regeneration is a fascinating phenomenon, but the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying regeneration remain incompletely understood. Here, Development has collated a series of articles showcasing some of the most recent advances in regenerative biology.
Keeping up with the Node: Lab meetings
Keep up with the Node 'Lab meeting' posts as the platform regularly highlights development and stem cell biology labs from across the globe and showcases research and researchers from the community. September featured the Kerosuo lab at the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, read their 'Lab meeting' article here.
Read & Publish Open Access publishing: what authors say
We have had great feedback from authors who have benefitted from our Read & Publish agreement with their institution and have been able to publish Open Access with us without paying an APC. Read what they had to say.
