Printed letters are visible through the nearly transparent body of Danionella cerebrum, a tiny fish opening new possibilities for studying the vertebrate brain. Newswise — Viewed from above, Danionella cerebrum offers a rare sight in a vertebrate: its brain, visible through…
The team profiled more than 600,000 cells from across the fish to build the whole-body single-cell transcriptome atlas of which genes are active in which cell. A cell’s transcriptome is the full set of RNA molecules it has made from its…
Developmental tracing in mice shows the TMJ disc forms independently of the condyle with a tendon-like molecular signature, supporting its evolutionary origin from a trapped tendon.
Development, Genes and Evolution, one of the oldest journals in developmental biology, has published its last issue under its current name. In a farewell editorial, Editor-in-Chief Angelika Stollewerk announced that she is stepping down at the end of 2024 and that…
For decades, scientists have been able to look at individual moments in the development of an embryo: a snapshot of a developing brain, a picture of how the heart takes shape, or a glimpse of cells beginning to form the…

A gene that helps build limbs has kept its protein function remarkably stable across millions of years of amniote evolution, even as the places where it is switched on in the developing limb have changed, according to a new open-access…
A new lineage-tracing study in the annelid Tubifex tubifex shows that each small micromere of the early embryo follows a fixed fate and that their left-right positions at the 22-cell stage already predict which half of the juvenile body they…
Researchers have created the first multi-omic atlas of the developing mouse thalamus, revealing that sensory and motor-associated neuronal lineages diverge at very early stages of embryonic development.
Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center have identified SP5 and SP8 as master genetic switches that trigger primary cilia formation, solving a major mystery in developmental biology and opening new avenues for studying ciliopathies. (CREDIT: Shutterstock) Cells that normally lack a…
Developmental biology: how embryos form and organs develop, morphogenesis and body plans, and lab-grown embryo models.
