Chromobodies are intracellular nanoprobes that combine the specificity of antibodies with the convenience of live fluorescence imaging in a flexible, DNA-encoded reagent. Here, we present the first application of this technique to an intact living vertebrate organism. We generated zebrafish lines expressing chromobodies that trace the major cytoskeletal component actin and the cell cycle marker...

During morphogenesis, organs grow to stereotyped sizes, but growth control mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we measured the signaling dynamics of the morphogen Dpp, one of several Drosophila factors controlling morphogenetic growth, in the developing eye. In this tissue, the Dpp expression domain advances from the posterior to the anterior tissue edge. In front of this moving morphogen s...

Patricia Keely (1963-2017)

All of us at Biology Open were very sad to learn of the death of Patricia Keely, one of our longest-serving Editors. Patricia joined the team upon the launch of The Company of Biologists' newest journal in 2011, demonstrating her strong support for not-for-profit scientific publishing by taking a chance on a fledgling journal that had no previous track record. She brought her expertise to bear ...

Dennis Lo (1963- )

Dennis Lo, also called Yuk Ming Dennis Lo, is a professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong [5] in Hong Kong, China. In 1997, Lo discovered fetal DNA in maternal plasma, which is the liquid component of a pregnant woman's blood. By 2002, Lo distinguished the DNA differences between pregnant women and their fetuses, enabling scientists to identify fetal DNA in pregnant women's blood. Lo use...
