Studying the shape of tissues and organs is critical to understanding how they are formed. Embryonic development happens in ...

Annual killifish, including the turquoise and African species, represent a compelling model for evolutionary biology due to their unique life cycle and rapid development. Adapted to ephemeral water ...

Insect wings represent a pivotal evolutionary innovation that has underpinned the remarkable radiation of the Insecta. This field, at the intersection of evolution and developmental biology (evo-devo) ...

“For many cell-based therapies, progress comes from connecting the right pieces at the right moment,” Klein said. “When ...

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, ...

A research team sheds light on the molecular mechanisms behind foxtail millet (Setaria italica L.) inflorescence development, a critical process that influences grain yield.

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 ...

The undergraduate minor in molecular, cellular and developmental biology prepares students to address global challenges such as climate change, international conflict and economic inequality. The ...

Ever better experimental techniques allow us to perform experiments under tightly controlled conditions and can deliver gigantic amounts of data reflecting the complexity of biology. This has vastly ...
