Issue Information

Cover Photograph: Top left: Neuromesodermal bipotential epiblast cells develop into the neural plate when Sox2 is activated by N1 enhancer, but they develop into the paraxial mesodermwhen N1 enhancer is repressed by TBX6 (see Kondoh et al. pp. 427–436). Center left: Fgf8 signaling for the specifi cation of the midbrain and hindbrain (see Harada et al. pp. 437–445). Bottom left: Intercellular communication by gap junction in the isthmic organizer (see Bosone et al. pp. 446–455). Top right: Neurovascular unit that is formed by pericyte, endothelial cells, glial cells and neurons provides an optimal microenvironment for neural proliferation as neurovascular niches in the subventricular zone (see Pombero et al. pp. 469–480). Center right: Chemoproliferative synapses between type I and type II cells in the carotid body (see Pardal and López‐Barneo pp. 456–462). Bottom right: AKH (Akihirin) is expressed in the ciliary marginal zone and is suggested to control cell proliferation and differentiation (see Acharjee et al. pp. 463–468).
