Happy #ValentinesDay to all of our beloved developmental biologists from the ISDB team. Here is a heart made out of some migrating immune cells. It's only right that they are in pink. Do you spot another heart somewhere in the photo? 😌 💗

The registration for the 17th YEN conference is now open. The YEN conference is also an incredible place for ECRs to network with other ECRs and established researchers in the field of Developmental Biology. And did we mention that it is FREE to attend? So what are you waiting for?

This paper discuss the link between macropinocytosis - the process of cell drinking and development and cancer therapy. Xenopus embryos treated with Hwa MO develop secondary body axis. But this was reversed when treated with EIPA - a macropinocytosis inhibitor. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
