Advocating developmental biology
We're excited to open our new series of review articles which make compelling arguments for the field’s importance, highlighting the achievements and potential of #devbio 1/6

The articles come in two flavours, answering:
1. What has developmental biology every done for us?
2. What are the big open questions in the field?
Our new issue features one of each! 2/6

1. Wnt signalling: conquering complexity
@sciencewiesel, Roel Nusse & @wntlab survey the history of the Wnt pathway through multiple models to clinical applications 3/6

2. What does time mean in development?
Miki Ebisuya & @briscoejames explore what sets the tempo and manages the order of developmental events 4/6

You can learn more about the project - and about other ways to advocate #devbio - in @AidMaart, @Poppi62, @katemmabrown1 & @PourquieOlivier's editorial 5/6 dev.biologists.org/content/145/12…

Finally - we welcome suggestions for further commissions!
