At #WeinsteinCVD2024 @WeinsteinConf this week? Senior Editor @amjeve is around - have a chat to him about Development, @the_Node & @Co_Biologists!
We've also put together a collection of recent articles on cardiovascular development:

IMF Report on the significant economic return of investment in basic research.
"We find that basic scientific research affects more sectors, in more countries and for a longer time than applied research (commercially oriented R&D by firms)"

Check out our recently published protocol for primary culture of zebrafish neurons!👇
Our protocol for performing primary culture of zebrafish neurons has been published.
It includes details on using transwell inserts, allowing for the isolation of neurites 😃 @CorinneHouart @HouartLab

We know there are differences between the left and right sides of the brain, known as brain asymmetry.
But it’s not yet clear how or why this comes about.
@stevewilsonfish and @ibianco3 from @ucl aim to find answers, with support from our Discovery Research Awards ⤵️

Good things come to those who wait they say....and boy did we wait (and do a couple of more experiments). But here it is in all it's beauty the Rocha et al.! It seems that the end does justify the means.

Just submitted (finally!) our manuscript on making floxed alleles in #zebrafish, so we posted on bioRxiv as well. A truly herculean effort from Masahiro on this one! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
