By Jennifer Bagwell and Michel Bagnat Our lab investigates the role of hydrostatic pressure as a morphogenetic force using zebrafish as a model system. This work was originally focused ...Posted by Mikawa Lab, on 12 February 2020
By Lisandro Maya-Ramos and Takashi Mikawa Bilaterality, the property of having two symmetrical sides, is widely conserved among animals. It is estimated that 99% of all animal species are bilaterians, ...Posted by stevegis, on 23 January 2020
We learn fairly early on when becoming biologists that both development and an organism’s response to environmental stressors require turning the right set of genes on in the right cells, ...Posted by maip.tran, on 8 January 2020
By Mai P. Tran and Kimberly L. Cooper “It’s the cutest rodent I have ever seen, even cuter than a cuddly hamster, and it would be fun doing a rotation for ...Posted by jorgetorrespaz, on 6 December 2019
The discipline “Evo-devo” studies the developmental basis of morphological evolution. In the field, some original animal models are emerging as interesting model organisms, enriching the knowledge in the field more ...Posted by ettenson, on 21 November 2019
We know surprisingly little about how evolution has created new cell types. One of the best examples of a recently evolved cell type comes from early sea urchin development. Most ...Posted by mariemanceau, on 20 November 2019
