  • Expression of the Short Stature Homeobox Gene Shox Is Restricted by Proximal and Distal Signals in Chick Limb Buds and Affects the Length of Skeletal Elements
    Developmental Biology 298 (2006) 585–596 www.elsevier.com/locate/ydbio Expression of the short stature homeobox gene Shox is restricted by proximal and distal signals in chick limb buds and affects the length of skeletal elements Eva Tiecke a, Fiona Bangs a, Rudiger Blaschke b, Elizabeth R. Farrell a, ⁎ Gudrun Rappold b, Cheryll Tickle a, a Division of Cell and Developmental Biology, School of Life Sciences, University of Dundee, Dow Street, Dundee, DD1 5EH, UK b Department of Human Molecular Genetics, University of Heidelberg, Im Neuenheimer Feld 366, D-69120 Heidelberg, Germany Received for publication 6 June 2006; accepted 10 July 2006 Available online 12 July 2006 Abstract SHOX is a homeobox-containing gene, highly conserved among species as diverse as fish, chicken and humans. SHOX gene mutations have been shown to cause idiopathic short stature and skeletal malformations frequently observed in human patients with Turner, Leri–Weill and Langer syndromes. We cloned the chicken orthologue of SHOX, studied its expression pattern and compared this with expression of the highly related Shox2. Shox is expressed in central regions of early chick limb buds and proximal two thirds of later limbs, whereas Shox2 is expressed more posteriorly in the proximal third of the limb bud. Shox expression is inhibited distally by signals from the apical ectodermal ridge, both Fgfs and Bmps, and proximally by retinoic acid signaling. We tested Shox functions by overexpression in embryos and micromass cultures. Shox- infected chick limbs had normal proximo-distal patterning but the length of skeletal elements was consistently increased. Primary chick limb bud cell cultures infected with Shox showed an initial increase in cartilage nodules but these did not enlarge.

  • Catalysishub NEWSLETTER
    CatalysisHub NEWSLETTER The UK Catalysis Hub has created a thriving and successful network of catalytic scientists who are developing and promoting catalytic science in the UK. The Hub has succeeded in coordinating the community and is contributing to the development of new approaches and techniques in the field. It has provided substantial added value and is now recognised widely both in the UK and internationally. It will provide an excellent base for the future development of this crucial area of science in the UK. “The Hub has demonstrated resilience in the current pandemic with the community coming together to support each other through webinars and training courses and we will continue these in more normal times. Our proposal round was very successful with a large number of high quality proposals submitted and we have funded an excellent portfolio of research. The next few months will hopefully see an easing of the lockdown and an increase in our ability to do research. We hope that all are keeping well and safe and we look forward to meeting in person when we can and discussing catalytic research face to face.” ~ Professor Christopher Hardacre, Director Events Highlights of 2020 online via our website, so they will be a future resource for the whole catalysis community. COVID-19 has had a major impact on scientific network and dissemination due to travel UKCC 2020, 7 - 9 January 2020 restrictions and social distancing making face to face meetings and conferences unfeasible. The UK Catalysis Hub winter conference was held virtually and we worked on a vibrant programme of webinars, scientific discussions and other online events.

  • Principles of Development Lewis Wolpert
    Principles of development lewis wolpert Continue The process of biological development is an amazing feat of tightly regulated cellular behavior - differentiation, movement and growth - powerful enough to lead to the appearance of a very complex living organism from a single cell, a fertilized egg. The principles of development clearly illustrate the universal principles governing this development process in a concise and accessible style. Written by two respected and influential development biologists, Lewis Volpert and Sheryl Tickle, it focuses on the systems that best illuminate the general principles covered by the text and avoids suppressing the reader with encyclopedic details. With co-authors whose experience spans discipline, The Principles of Development combines the careful study of the subject with ideas from some of the world's pioneers of research in development biology, guiding the student from the basics to the latest discoveries in the field. The Internet Resource Center Internet Resource Center to accompany the Principles of Development features For registered adopters of text: Electronic works of art: Figures from the book are available for download, for use in lectures. Journal Club: Proposed scientific papers and discussion related to the topics presented in the book direct the process of learning from the scientific literature. PowerPoint numbers: Figures inserted into PowerPoint for use in handouts and presentations. For students: Web links and web activities: Recommended websites related to each chapter guide students to further sources of information each accompanied by a brief overview of how the source can help with their research and thought issue to help think about the underlying issues.

Sandra Taylor, Senior Research Technician, BSc (Hons), Mphil, Rsci, MIScT [email protected] (0161) 306 5131 Small beginnings in Norwich, after my first degree • 1987 - First lab job veterinary tests: Bacteriology, post mortems, blood, urine, faeces tests etc. Plant Molecular Genetics 1988 to 1998 – the lab grew from 6 to 16 people and several papers were published on the way that flowering is controlled. 1998 to 2001: Biochemistry Division, School of Biological Sciences, Manchester University – I supported 6 research groups, sharing expertise. Topics from cell division (in toads) to asthma (in horses and people), and cultured human cells. Career Break from 2001 to 2007 • Starting again after 6 years was a challenge but I soon got back up to speed. Technical roles are very varied, never boring, a bit like being a Mum! 2007 to present • I spent 7 years in the Michael Smith Building (Life Sciences) – various roles (cell culture, cloning, yeast two-hybrid) • In 2014 I moved to the MIB – more Chemistry/Biochemistry focussed Nano-scale 3D printing?!

Present Challenges Supporting SYNBIOCHEM • New subject(s) and equipment to learn about • The new SYMBIOCHEM team is 10 people and 4 robots! • IT technology means writing electronic lab notebooks instead of paper ones! • The new team is multidisciplinary so lots to learn but good fun! • This is now the age of writing DNA, as opposed to just reading it Publications (please note publications I contributed prior to 2006 were under my maiden name of Doyle) Structural Basis for Specific Interaction of TGFβ Signaling Regulators SARA/Endofin with HD-PTP.

Land Smith 2021 MELS ii Abstract Sina Queyras, in the essay “Lyric Conceptualism: A Manifesto in Progress,” describes the Lyric Conceptualist as a poet capable of recognizing the effects of disparate movements and employing a variety of lyric, conceptual, and language poetry techniques to continue to innovate in poetry without dismissing the work of other schools of poetic thought. Queyras sees the lyric conceptualist as an artistic curator who collects, modifies, selects, synthesizes, and adapts, to create verse that is both conceptual and accessible, using relevant materials and techniques from the past and present. This dissertation responds to Queyras’s idea with a collection of original poems in the lyric conceptualist mode, supported by a critical exegesis of that work.

Her lab has studied kidney development and regeneration for over 20 years, recently making notable advances in the generation of kidney organoids from human iPSCs. We chatted with Melissa about her career, her thoughts on the potential of the organoid and stem cell fields, and what she hopes to achieve during her guest editorship with Development.
