Development
@dev-journal
Development is a leading research journal in the field of developmental biology, covering stem cells, regeneration, evo-devo, epigenetics, morphogenesis and more. @biologists.bsky.social
This paper was submitted through Development's fast track transfer option. Do you have a paper with reviews from another journal? We can use them to fast-track a decision on your paper. journals.biologists.com/dev/pages/jo...
Boundary constraints can determine pattern emergence Yi Ting Loo, @timesaunders.bsky.social & co demonstrate that patterning of neuromesodermal progenitors during axial elongation is driven by boundary-dependent mechanisms using a geometrically confined in vitro system. doi.org/10.1242/dev....
#2026SDB is right around the corner @socdevbio.bsky.social. If you are attending, @amjeve.uk, Anna-Katerina Hadjantonakis and @andreamurillo.bsky.social will be there and would love to chat about @dev-journal.bsky.social, @the-node.bsky.social and @biologists.bsky.social.
