Controlling differentiation using biophysical cues from development Embryonic stem cells have the potential to become any cell type in the adult organism, but coaxing them to a specific fate continues ...Posted by Navajas, on 1 August 2016
“My dear, here we must run as fast as we can, just to stay in place. And if you wish to go anywhere you must run twice as fast as ...Posted by jingyi, on 20 July 2016
Fertilization marks the start of life. This is followed by highly coordinated epigenetic reprogramming that allows protamine-histone exchange, zygotic genome activation, and the generation of a totipotent embryo. However, the ...Posted by Abcam Events, on 13 July 2016
Stem cells have the unique properties of both self renewal and differentiation into various lineages. In the last few years, chromatin architecture and noncoding RNAs are emerging as major players in both gene ...Posted by cdemers, on 5 July 2016
Unraveling Development Embryonic development is a complex and regulated spatiotemporal ensemble of signaling cues that control cell differentiation. Most of what we now know comes from experimenting directly on embryos. ...Posted by Elizabeth Rideout, on 27 May 2016
Bruno Hudry and Elizabeth J. Rideout Male and female fruit flies differ in many aspects of development and physiology. For example, males and females differ in abdominal pigmentation, sex comb ...Posted by Disease Models and Mechanisms, on 4 May 2016
This post highlights the approach and findings of a new research article published in Disease Models & Mechanisms: ‘Stem cell-specific endocytic degradation defects lead to intestinal dysplasia in Drosophila’. This ...Posted by the Node, on 18 March 2016
Here is some developmental biology related content from other journals published by The Company of Biologists. Drosophila as a model to study human disease The latest ...Posted by Caroline Hendry, on 15 March 2016
In vitro organogenesis has exploded onto the stem cell and developmental biology scene. It is now possible to make miniaturised approximations of many different organs – known as organoids – entirely ...Posted by the Node, on 15 March 2016
