Special issue featuring developmental biology in Spain
The international journal of Developmental biology features some very interesting articles ,coming mostly from Spanish scientists. Currently this issue can be accessed from ” IN PRESS ARTICLES ” , which includes articles from very eminent scientists like Antonio García-Bellido,Juan Pablo Couso, Gines Morata, Jaume Baguñà, Ernesto Sánchez-Herrero and many more . The highlight for me is the one written by Alain Ghysen about the contributions of Antonio García-Bellido to the field of developmental biology . Its in fact an interview of great man who pioneered developmental genetics, where he expresses his views on a number of subjects that relate mostly to the future of developmental biology and to evolution. The contribution he made towards developmental biology is immense and clearly deserves a Nobel ( but i doubt they will present another prize on Drosophila and Developmental after ED Lewis ,Eric and Vollahard in 1995 , if at all they plan then i would like to see Antonio García-Bellido and Walter Gehring sharing that ).
The “in press articles” features many articles and below are some which i find very interesting to read :
