Pdgfab/Pdgfra-mediated chemoattraction guides the migration of sclerotome-derived fibroblast precursors in zebrafish
During vertebrate development, fibroblast precursors migrate from the sclerotome to specific tissues, but the mechanisms that guide these precursors remain unclear. This study shows that Pdgfab/Pdgfra...

Excited to share our latest work led by my PhD student Linjun Xie on sclerotome development: Dynamic BMP signaling regulates sclerotome induction and lineage diversification in zebrafish, now published on @dev-journal.bsky.social! #zebrafish #devbio 1/8 doi.org/10.1242/dev....
Dynamic BMP signaling regulates sclerotome induction and lineage diversification in zebrafish
Summary: Loss- and gain-of-function manipulations reveal that dynamic regulation of BMP signaling is essential for the induction and diversification of the sclerotome lineage in zebrafish.

We're all familiar with complaints about peer review. Some think it's biased – editors (especially from ‘those’ journals) seem to have too much power to decide what gets published. It can be opaque – ...
