Cover: Skin-resident macrophages (white) migrate towards a scratch wound (centre) in a zebrafish skin explant. To reach the wound margin, migrating macrophages must navigate through a dense network of epithelial cells, which are visualised using a reporter for epithelial junctions (Ξ±-catenin-Citrine, magenta). Live-cell imaging and chemical perturbations demonstrate that skin macrophages require microtubules to efficiently respond to tissue damage and navigate epithelial obstacles. See article by E. Peterman et al. (jcs264101).

Cell movements around the organizer/node after stage HH4.
Fate maps of the ectodermal (dorsal) layer of the organizer/node, based on Selleck and Stern (1991) (Selleck and Stern, 1991).
Cell movements of populations contributing to the organizer.
Stages of early chick development referred to in the text. The diagrams show some of the features used to classify the stages in relation to primitive streak formation.
We often talk about what signals does the organiser release. But have you ever stopped and asked what does it mean to be the organiser? What cells make up the organiser? Where do they go? What do they do?
Well this review by Claudio Stern may give you the answers:

Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is an integral part of development in animals. In this beautifully illustrated review from the lab of Magali Suzanne, they describe and compare and contrast the cellular mechanism of EMT across the different model organisms.

Fig. 3. Protein localisation, cell sorting behaviours and signalling pathway activation in gastruloids. Depicted are schematic representations based on integration of existing, fragmented data. Note that there is considerable variation in gastruloid development and existing data quality and resolution, and these cartoons represent our interpretation of average domains of immunofluorescence staining.

For decades, living embryos were the favourite tool to study development. However, their complexity hindered precise dissection of many processes. This comprehensive review provides a comparison between embryos and the power of gastruloids, opening up a new wave of dev bio.
