Cover: Scanning electron microscopy image of an embryonic day 10.5 mouse embryo lacking the transcription factor Grhl2, and also one allele of the soluble morphogen noggin (Grhl2−/−;Nog+/−). This image represents a partial rescue of the Grhl2−/− open neural tube phenotype, via reduction of the elevated expression of noggin in these embryos. See Research article by de Vries at al. (dev202420).

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.
