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

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

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

Amphioxus, as a basal chordate, offers an insightful window into the evolutionary origins of vertebrate development. Its embryogenesis, characterised by the formation of a notochord, neural tube and ...

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, ...

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 ...

A new study takes a tour of the history of research into human embryology and development to show the "cycles of attention" that led to major scientific breakthroughs. Analyzing the past sheds light ...

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 ...

Researchers have identified Nr1h2, a critical transcription factor essential for early embryo development. Their findings enhance our understanding of gene regulation during blastoid formation and ...

Due to the breadth of study in biology, and driven by a mission to educate our undergraduate and graduate students, the UD biology faculty has developed a wide spectrum of research interests. Faculty ...

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 ...
