LaBonne is president of the Society for Developmental Biology and the Erastus Otis Haven professor of molecular biosciences at Northwestern University. Imagine a world without lifesaving medicines, ...

A key question that remains in biology and biophysics is how three-dimensional tissue shapes emerge during animal development. Research teams have now found a mechanism by which tissues can be ...

Evolutionary developmental biology, or evo‐devo, investigates how evolution shapes developmental processes to generate the diversity of life. It synthesises comparative embryology, genetics and ...

Insect pigmentation and colour patterns result from the precise regulation of gene networks that control the synthesis, deposition, and distribution of pigments during development. Central to these ...

Researchers employed interdisciplinary approaches to show how sea anemone 'exercise' changes their developing size and shape, uncovering an intimate relationship between behavior and body development.

WOODS HOLE, Mass. -- Scientists have a handful of standard research organisms, including fruit flies and mice, that they use to study the evolutionary development (evo-devo) of animal lineages over ...

When you look in the mirror and wish you were a decade younger, what you’re really asking for is reverse development, or reverse aging. Though most animals, including humans, are born, age, and ...

Drug developers will be able to use alternatives to animal testing and possibly get new products to market faster under draft guidance issued Wednesday by the FDA. In a press release, officials said ...

3D surface of the fruit fly wing disc before (left) and after (right) eversion. Highlighted in blue is the pouch region, which transforms from a radially symmetric dome into a curved fold by ...
