Talk:2016 Group Project 2

Group Assessment Criteria   Science Student Projects The key points relating to the topic that your group allocated are clearly described. The choice of content, headings and sub-headings, diagrams, tables, graphs show a good understanding of the topic area. Content is correctly cited and referenced. The wiki has an element of teaching at a peer level using the student's own innovative diagrams, tables or figures and/or using interesting examples or explanations. Evidence of significant research relating to basic and applied sciences that goes beyond the formal teaching activities. Relates the topic and content of the Wiki entry to learning aims of embryology. Clearly reflects on editing/feedback from group peers and articulates how the Wiki could be improved (or not) based on peer comments/feedback. Demonstrates an ability to review own work when criticised in an open edited wiki format. Reflects on what was learned from the process of editing a peer's wiki. Evaluates own performance and that of group peers to give a rounded summary of this wiki process in terms of group effort and achievement. The content of the wiki should demonstrate to the reader that your group has researched adequately on this topic and covered the key areas necessary to inform your peers in their learning. Develops and edits the wiki entries in accordance with the above guidelines. More Information on Assessment Criteria | Science Student Projects

Signalling: 1 Wnt | 2 Notch | 3 FGF Receptor | 4 Hedgehog | 5 T-box | 6 TGF-Beta

Here are some starting places for the topic. Can be patterning, differentiation, etc. as long as a developmental signal process/pathway.

Notch signalling at a glance: http://jcs.biologists.org/content/joces/126/10/2135.full.pdf

Signalling pathways for neural development: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4369499/pdf/WJSC-7-437.pdf

Z5015014 (talk) 14:28, 26 August 2016 (AEST) here's the embryology site page for Notch signalling!

Z5015014 (talk) 14:31, 26 August 2016 (AEST) I also found a review article for Notch signalling in the common fruit fly, which could be a good idea for a subsection: PMID 12369105 General outlines of the molecular genetics of the Notch signalling pathway in Drosophila melanogaster: a review.

Z3462474 (talk) 12:41, 19 August 2016 (AEST) Signalling in neural embryonic development looks interesting! Particularly the paper about NSCs and psychiatric disorders.

Z5015014 (talk) 21:59, 18 August 2016 (AEST): Hedgehog signalling (specifically SHH signalling) sounds really interesting!

Z5014803 (talk) 22:39, 18 August 2016 (AEST): Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMP) signalling in development looks interesting

Z3491219 (talk) I think looking at how in utero exposure to cigarette smoke affects fetal ovarian development signalling would be interesting.
