The people behind the papers - Chase Bryan and Kristen Kwan.

Optic cup development involves a series of intricate cell and tissue movements, and cells' interaction with the extracellular matrix (ECM) is known to play an important role. However, the details of how ECM components work in eye development, and where they come from, is still poorly understood, and is the subject of a new Development paper that takes advantage of live imaging in zebrafish embryos. We caught up with first author Chase Bryan and his supervisor Kristen Kwan, Assistant Professor in the Department of Human Genetics at the University of Utah, Salt Lake City, to find out more about the story.
