Developmental Biology

Studying Embryonic Development with Molecular Methods

Description

Embryonic development depends on molecular signals that guide cells as they change and move. These signals help control cell differentiation, which is the process that makes cells into specific types, and cell migration, which is the movement of cells to new locations. Together, these events shape the tissues and structures ...

Transcript

Studies in the field of molecular developmental biology provide insight about the changes that occur at the cellular level during differentiation and development. Researchers examine the physical and chemical mechanisms that regulate cell functions. This helps in understanding how cells give rise to specialized tissues withi...
