Cover: In situ hybridization of the vegetal region of an 8-cell stage Xenopus laevis embryo using a probe for Wnt11 mRNA, showing that Wnt11 mRNA is localized in dorsal vegetal blastomeres. Depletion of Wnt11, or of its receptor LRP6, leads to loss of axis formation. (In situ by Stephanie Lang.) See research article by Kofron et al. on p. 503 - PDF Icon PDF LinkTable of contents

RESEARCH REPORT
RESEARCH ARTICLE
Controlled overexpression of Pax6 in vivo negatively autoregulates the Pax6 locus, causing cell-autonomous defects of late cortical progenitor proliferation with little effect on cortical arealization

A case for broadening our view of mechanism in developmental biology
In this Perspective, B. Duygu Özpolat and colleagues survey researchers on their views on what it takes to infer mechanism in developmental biology. They examine what factors shape our idea of what we mean by ‘mechanism’ and suggest a path forward that embraces a broad outlook on the diversity of studies that advance knowledge in our field.
In preprints
Did you know that Development publishes perspectives on recent preprints? These articles help our readers navigate the ever-growing preprint literature.
