Now is not the time to defund human fetal tissue research

Hindering studies involving fetal tissue will impede the development of the alternatives intended to replace it, while slowing the search for new medicines.

I love the cover of the latest issue of Development @Co_Biologists

As Alex Eve posted over on Bluesky: "the latest cover helps to remind us that Development is not just a faceless brand of a journal eager to line shareholder pockets - it's a group of people who share a love for #devbio and, in my experience, really are trying to do their best for their community."
