During development, the cells of an embryo change their pattern of gene expression, which allows them to detach from their original location and migrate to another part of the embryo, where the pattern changes again to allow formation of a new organ.
A flood of new discoveries has refined our definition of cancer stem cells. Now it’s up to human clinical trials to test if they can make a difference in patients.
Genes shared across species that produce different phenotypes – deafness in humans and directional growth in plants – may reveal new models of disease.
With strong foundations in both art and science, Ahna Skop has been able to capture the marvel of—and mechanisms behind—cytokinesis.
With an eye to understanding animal regeneration, Alejandro Sánchez Alvarado has turned a freshwater planarian into a model system to watch.
For the first time researchers have demonstrated the molecular tango that gives rise to repeating patterns in developing animal embryos.
Imaging cell cytoskeletons during early embryonic development leads researchers to uncover a new regulator of cell shape
Brain imaging and gene analyses in twins reveal that white matter integrity is linked to an iron homeostasis gene.
