Developmental biologists use antibodies extensively to study the gene expression during different stages. However, there is a lack of specific antibodies against many proteins related to development. In addition, some ...Posted by Liangyu Zhang, on 19 March 2016
By Liangyu Zhang and Abby F. Dernburg The nematode Caenorhabidis elegans is among the most widely used and powerful model organisms for studying mechanisms underlying cellular and developmental processes. ...Posted by Mario Metzler, on 26 February 2016
Some time ago I wrote about a webpage I’ve created to manage genetic fly crosses. In that past post, I’ve promised a new version of the software, and I’m happy ...Posted by Clare Buckley, on 24 February 2016
By Clare Buckley and Rachel Moore One of the things that we find most challenging about working with whole vertebrate organisms is how we can tie ourselves in knots trying ...Posted by NLVastenhouw, on 15 February 2016
By L. Carine Stapel and Nadine L.Vastenhouw In developmental biology, the ability to analyze gene expression patterns is essential to address questions about gene regulation and cell fate. In ...Posted by chris.armit@igmm.ed.ac.uk, on 26 January 2016
A new 3D viewer that allows interactive visualisation of mouse embryo anatomy is now available from the eMouseAtlas website (www.emouseatlas.org/). A slice viewer allows visualisation of anatomy on arbitrary section ...Posted by Rob Parton, on 23 December 2015
The use of green fluorescent protein (GFP) has revolutionised the study of dynamic cellular processes in cells, tissues, and whole organisms. Laboratories throughout the world have exploited the simplicity of ...Posted by Mike Levin, on 30 October 2015
Pattern formation and regulation emerges from cellular activity determined by specific biophysical and genetic rules. A major challenge for developmental biology, biomedicine, and synthetic bioengineering is this highly indirect (Lobo ...Posted by Maria Sundvik, on 26 October 2015
Zebrafish is a common model organism in many fields of science. The study by Sundvik et al. 2015 in Scientific Reports tests the safety of acoustic levitation of an intact ...Posted by Daisuke Kurihara, on 16 October 2015
In multicellular animals and plants, the single-celled zygote develops into the embryo. In the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, the zygote divides asymmetrically to form a small cytoplasmic apical cell, which ...
