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 ...Posted by Miquel Marin-Riera, on 4 October 2015
One of the main challenges of Developmental Biology is to understand the complex developmental mechanisms giving rise to different organs or whole organisms. In most cases, these involve the interplay ...Posted by the Node, on 24 September 2015
This Spotlight article was written by Dianne Gerrelli, Steven Lisgo, Andrew J. Copp and Susan Lindsay, and was first published in Development. Congenital anomalies are a significant burden on human health. Understanding the developmental origins of ...Posted by IRBBarcelona, on 15 September 2015
A study conducted by ICREA researcher Cayetano González, at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB Barcelona), and published in Nature Protocols describes a forgotten technique used in the fly ...Posted by jramalhosantos, on 28 August 2015
“A Stem Cell Adventure” is a comic book about stem cell research, and resulted from a project on science outreach carried out by several researchers at the Center for ...
