Jan. 15, 2025 — While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research ...

We work in two areas. The first is traditional cell and molecular biology, focussed on the molecular mechanisms underlying mesoderm formation, and neural crest induction, and tissue and organ ...

Evolutionary developmental biology is the comparative study of organismal development and how it has evolved. There is a particular focus on the genetic basis of phenotypic structures, how they ...

Developmental biology is the field of biology that studies the processes by which multicellular organisms grow and develop, controlled by their genes. Knowledge of normal developmental processes ...

Understanding the regulatory mechanisms that define and ultimately restrict cell fate has important implications for regenerative medicine, cancer research, and developmental biology. To meet this ...

All living organisms change – during the course of their lifetimes and across generations. The Max Planck Institute for Biology (name changed at the end of 2021 from Max Planck Institute for ...

Thanks to a new technology called Moscot ("Multi-Omics Single-Cell Optimal Transport"), researchers can now observe millions of cells simultaneously as they develop into a new organ-for example, a ...

Congenital renal malformations are among the most common birth defects and arise from the failure to normally regulate kidney development. The overall goal of Kuure lab research is to provide new ...
