Developmental biology seeks to document the path from embryo to organism, where cell-to-cell interactions and the spatial organization of tissues influence developmental mechanisms. Consequently, ...

Cell division during the early stage of embryo development is a trade-off between speed and accuracy; the cells need to ...

Ciliates represent a remarkably diverse group of unicellular eukaryotes that possess a dual nuclear organisation—a germline micronucleus and a somatic macronucleus—that underpins their extraordinary ...

Developmental biology is the branch of biological sciences that investigates the processes by which organisms grow, differentiate, and acquire their form from fertilization to adulthood and often ...

Descriptions of the embryo go back at least to the time of Aristotle, but it has only been since the late 19 th century and early 20 th century that advances in experimental approaches allowed ...

For the first time, the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR), the Society for Developmental Biology (SDB), and the Allen Institute are collaborating to present a three-day scientific ...

Physical cues in the womb, and not just genetics, influence the normal development of neural crest cells, the embryonic stem cells that form facial features, finds a new study. Physical cues in the ...
