Prince lab paper makes cover of Developmental Biology!
The lab’s recent work investigating the role of Cdx4 in zebrafish trunk neural crest development generated not only spectacular science but spectacular images! A confocal microscopy image of the neural crest cells (magenta) in a chimeric cdx4 mutant embryo made the cover of the December 2021 edition of Developmental Biology. The image accompanies the lab’s most recent paper “Zebrafish Cdx4 regulates neural crest cell specification and migratory behaviors in the posterior body”, which you can check out here.
Cdx4 paper is published!
Results from the lab’s most recent project investigating the function of the homeodomain transcription factor Cdx4 in posterior neural crest development have just been published in the journal Developmental Biology. The paper, entitled “Zebrafish Cdx4 regulates neural crest cell specification and migratory behaviors in the posterior body” was spearheaded by recent graduate Dr. Manny Rocha and features contributions from many lab members.
