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 ...

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 ...

How cells utilize electric fields to guide their migration during embryonic development. As an embryo develops, cells ...

Two new studies offer insights into the evolution and development of external ears, which appear in humans and other mammals ...

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 ...

Plant Biology eLife reviews plant biology research including development, epigenetics, genomics, signalling, metabolism and plant-microbe interactions. Learn more about what we review and sign up for ...

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 ...

Researchers have uncovered which genes on the Y chromosome regulate the development of sperm and impact fertility in male mice. This research could help us understand why some men don't produce enough ...

Clearly, this order is not fully informed by current biological science,” said Dr. Richard Bribiescas, president of the Human Biology Association.

The course is an introduction to developmental biology and genetics - in plants, animals and other relevant groups of organisms. We will use concepts and principles from genetics and epigenetics to ...
