I appreciate the difficulties of editors to secure reviewers. As a reviewer, I also value being able to ask editors, e.g. about deadline extensions or potential conflicts of interest before accepting. "Do-not-reply" emails (or automatic reminders while waiting for an answer) are of limited use.
I've just started my 2nd lab at RIKEN BDR in Kobe, Japan! This small, focused group will compare and manipulate species-specific time and shape, in collaboration with our Dresden lab. Interested in the stem cell zoo? Get in touch! www.bdr.riken.jp/en/research/...

Developmental growth rates adapt to enable self-correction of organ morphology after injury.
Proportional organ growth requires tissue-level control of cell behavior. Yet the cues that adapt growth rates, especially after organ injury, remain unclear. Here, we uncover that developing organs a...
