Multicellularity is one of the most profound phenomena in biology, and relies on the ability of a single cell to reorganize ...

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

LimbLab is an open-source tool that can help developmental biology researchers visualise and analyse 3D data for ...

“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, ...

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 ...

Evolutionary developmental biology, or evo‐devo, investigates how evolution shapes developmental processes to generate the diversity of life. It synthesises comparative embryology, genetics and ...

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 ...

Metabolism does more than fuel embryos—it sets their developmental rhythm. EMBL researchers found that a sugar molecule, FBP, controls the pace of spine formation, suggesting metabolism may act as a ...

Human heart development is largely influenced by neural crest cells, which carefully regulate a key growth signal.

Ribosomes may not be indiscriminate translation factories, but may actively select the mRNAs with which they interact. Loss of ribosomal protein Rpl38 in mice alters the expression of a specific ...
