In many animal embryos, the tail bends ventrally as it grows, but the underlying mechanisms driving this multi-tissue deformation have been difficult to study. A new paper in Development uses the simple chordate as a model to study this widely conserved process. To find out more about the story, we met the paper's two first authors, Qiongxuan Lu and Yuan Gao, and their supervisor Bo Dong, Professor at the Ocean University of China in Qingdao, China.
在许多动物胚胎中，尾巴随着生长向腹侧弯曲，但驱动这种多组织变形的潜在机制一直难以研究。发育杂志上的一篇新论文利用简单的脊索动物作为模型来研究这一广泛保守的过程。为了更多地了解这个故事，我们采访了论文的两位第一作者卢琼萱和高远，以及他们的导师、中国青岛中国海洋大学的董波教授。
