Improved FISH for planarians

Modification of multiple steps in in situ hybridization methods for the freshwater planarian Schmidtea mediterranea greatly increase signal detection and may prove useful for whole-mount fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) in other model organisms

Amphibian cell signalling requires insulin

Insulin binds to the plasma membrane in prophase arrested Rana pipiens oocytes, initiating a transduction pathway that changes the ionic permeability of the membrane and the intracellular pH, which is required to resume meiosis.

Scope

BMC Developmental Biology is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that considers articles on the development, growth, differentiation and regeneration of multicellular organisms, including molecular, cellular, tissue, organ and whole organism research.

It is journal policy to publish work deemed by peer reviewers to be a coherent and sound addition to scientific knowledge and to put less emphasis on interest levels, provided that the research constitutes a useful contribution to the field.
