Abstract A fundamental question of developmental biology is how the coordinated action of various cells gives rise to distinct tissue morphologies that are reproducible across members of the same species. A new paper in Development now addresses this question by performing single-cell morphometrics to study notochord formation in amphioxus. To hear more about the story, we chatted to first author and postdoctoral researcher Toby Andrews, and his PhD supervisor Elia Benito-Gutiérrez, Group Leader in the Department of Zoology at the University of Cambridge.

ABSTRACTThe anterior to posterior extension of the vertebrate body axis relies on a population of bipotent neuromesodermal progenitors in the tailbud. A new paper in Development uncovers a crucial and unexpected new role for Hox13 genes in sustaining these progenitors to promote axis extension in zebrafish. To hear more about the story, we caught up with the paper's two authors: postdoctoral researcher Zhi Ye and his supervisor David Kimelman, Professor of Biochemistry and Adjunct Professor of Biology at the University of Washington, Seattle.

AbstractIn this article Kate Faulkner writes about the significant moments in the journey of women as they entered into the legal profession taking a perspective from the University of Cambridge. Her article is based around a recent exhibition that was held at the Squire Law Library as part of the Open Cambridge annual event. The aim of the exhibition was to mark the centenary of the Representation of the People Act 1918 and the Sex Disqualification (Removal) Act 1919 which finally allowed women into the professions.

Blood cells emerge in several waves through a number of different progenitors during embryonic development. A new paper in Development investigates whether the development of B1 lymphocytes, a type of B cell, is dependent on the differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells. To hear more about the story, we caught up with joint first authors Nathalia Azevedo Portilho and Rebecca Scarfò, and their respective supervisors Momoko Yoshimoto, Associate Professor at the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston, USA, and Andrea Ditadi, Group Leader at the IRCCS Ospedale San Raffaele in Milan, Italy.

ABSTRACT Unlike mammals, adult zebrafish are capable of regenerating their hearts without scarring after injury – a process that has great therapeutic potential. A new paper in Development investigates the role of Prxx1b, a transcription factor that is expressed in epicardial heart tissue after injury, to understand its role in the scar-free regeneration of the adult zebrafish heart. To hear more about the study, we caught up with joint first authors, Dennis De Bakker and Mara Bouwman, and the corresponding author, Jeroen Bakkers, the group leader at the Hubrecht Institute and professor of Molecular Cardiogenetics at the University Medical Center in Utrecht, The Netherlands.

A new 1-MeV transmission electron microscope (Model JEM-1000) was installed at the Department of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology of the University of Colorado in Boulder during the summer and fall of 1972 under the sponsorship of the Division of Research Resources of the National Institutes of Health. The installation was completed in October, 1972. It is installed primarily for the study of biological materials without many of the limitations hitherto unavoidable in standard transmission electron microscopy. Only the technical characteristics of the installation are briefly reviewed here. A more detailed discussion of the experimental program under way is being published elsewhere.

This interview was conducted on 16 May 2009 at Le Quartier Francais in Franschhoek, Cape Town, South Africa. Petina Gappah is the third generation of Zimbabwean writers writing from the diaspora. She was born in 1971 in Zambia, and grew up in Zimbabwe during the transitional moment from colonial Rhodesia to independence. She has law degrees from the University of Zimbabwe, the University of Cambridge, and the University of Graz. She writes in English and also draws on Shona, her first language. She has published a short story collection An Elegy for Easterly (2009), first novel The Book of Memory (2015), and another collection of short stories, Rotten Row (2016).  Gappah’s collection of short stories An Elegy for Easterly (2009) was awarded The Guardian First Book Award in 2009, and was shortlisted for the Frank O’Connor International Short Story Award, the richest prize for the short story form. Gappah was working on her novel The Book of Memory at the time of this interview.

This research discussed the issue of the development of learning module based computer technology especially a powerpoint. This module is intended to help students receive the material that was delivered by lecturer especially design structured matter which currently learning module media shaped print and the contents of the text are form module so the university students ca not see the material . Based on these problems was built a module learning computer technology with a powerpoint . The reason the manufacture of the module was structured design material with a picture and a symbol of in designing a system so it needs to ease student visualiasi received mater learning. Method of development this module use the model ADDIE (analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation). Results in this research validated by 2 ( two ) experts namely the people of material said 80% module very reasonable used without revision and media experts said 84% module very reasonable used without revision while results trial by college students by means of pre-test and post-test. The results obtained module very well be used.
