Animal developmental and reproductive biology encompasses the cellular, molecular and tissue-level events that transform a single fertilised cell into a fully formed adult capable of reproduction. Key ...
A key question that remains in biology and biophysics is how three-dimensional tissue shapes emerge during animal development. Research teams have now found a mechanism by which tissues can be ...
LaBonne is president of the Society for Developmental Biology and the Erastus Otis Haven professor of molecular biosciences at Northwestern University. Imagine a world without lifesaving medicines, ...
Lacking bones, brains, and even a complete gut, the body plans of simple animals like sea anemones appear to have little in common with humans and their vertebrate kin. Nevertheless, new research ...
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a unique synovial articulation comprising the mandibular condyle, temporal glenoid fossa and an interposed fibrocartilaginous disc. Its condylar cartilage is ...
Embryonic germ layers are the fundamental organizing principle in animal development. They provide the structural basis from which tissues and organs arise. During early embryogenesis, cells divide to ...
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 ...
