During their journey from zygote to adult, embryos experience several symmetry breaking processes. Structures which are not isotropic (equal in all directions) are formed, creating the inside-out axis, forward-backwards axis, ...Posted by Bert De Rybel, on 16 December 2020
Jos Wendrich, Yvan Saeys and Bert De Rybel take us on a single cell journey through the Arabidopsis rootPosted by Sofia Araújo, on 14 December 2020
In the Genetics of Cell Behaviour in Development laboratory, at the Department of Genetics, Microbiology and Statistics at the University of Barcelona, we work with the terminal cells (TCs) of ...Posted by Courtney Clark-Hachtel, on 19 October 2020
The wings of vertebrates, like birds and bats, emerged relatively recently, and we understand that these wings evolved from forelimbs. Even for the mythological dragon there seems to be a ...Posted by Timothy Fulton, on 9 October 2020
Timothy Fulton, Vikas Trivedi, Andrea Attardi & Benjamin Steventon As developmental biologists, we often find ourselves carefully looking at developing embryos as they undertake a dramatic and fascinating task: making ...Posted by Grace Lim, on 1 October 2020
The cytoskeletal filament network within our cells underpins the functionality of virtually all cellular processes. Apart from conferring a structural framework giving cells their unique shapes, the cytoskeleton also regulates ...Posted by Oliver Hobert, on 1 October 2020
Following the initial discovery of the homeobox in the 1980s in invertebrates and then vertebrates, it became quickly clear that homeobox genes come in two flavors – that of the ...Posted by Jonas Hartmann, on 26 September 2020
A wave of innovations is advancing data-driven computational analysis and machine learning – time for developmental biologists to hop on the surf board! This post, inspired by our recent data-driven ...Posted by Laura Pellegrini, on 21 September 2020
Our brain is immersed in a clear, colourless, nutrient-rich fluid called the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which provides mechanical support to the brain and helps to circulate important molecules for brain ...Posted by PierreNeveu, on 15 September 2020
By Hanna L. Sladitschek and Pierre A. Neveu Our body consists of a multitude of highly specialized tissues: the neurons in our retina seem to have little in common ...
