Graphic for International Women’s Day is divided into two halves. On the left, a white background features a simple line drawing of a rose with the text "FLOWERS ARE NICE" in purple uppercase letters. On the right, a purple background displays a bold white and yellow feminist symbol with the text "EQUAL RIGHTS ARE BETTER" in uppercase, with "EQUAL" highlighted in yellow. The European Commission logo is in the bottom right corner.

When a woman is empowered, the world is empowered.💜️

40 years of the homeobox A large family of developmental genes share a 180 bp DNA sequence, called the homeobox, which encodes a DNA-binding domain. This year, 2024, marks the 40th year since the discovery of the homeobox in 1984, a landmark that fundamentally impacted several fields including genetics, developmental biology, neuroscience and evolution. To celebrate this anniversary, Development has commissioned a series of articles from leaders in the field demonstrating the impact of the homeobox discovery on different disciplines. These review-type articles will be published throughout 2024, starting with an introductory Editorial and collated here. We hope you find these articles interesting and we welcome your future submissions detailing how this remarkable family functions in development, stem cells and regeneration.

I’d loved to participate! Thank you.
