Studying the shape of tissues and organs is critical to understanding how they are formed. Embryonic development happens in ...

Researchers at EMBL Barcelona have developed an open-source tool that makes working with complicated volumetric imaging data ...

Scientists have created a spatial atlas of the incredible process of human limb development, including steps that show digits emerging from a bud as cells recede, instead of growing outward. With ...

Human fingers and toes do not grow outward; instead, they form from within a larger foundational bud, as intervening cells recede to reveal the digits beneath. This is among many processes captured ...

To shed light on the principles that govern tissue dynamics across species, RIKEN biologists have developed a new method for analyzing the development of vertebrate limbs. These principles could help ...

This study is reported by Jia-Tang Li’s group from the Chengdu Institute of Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. The development of limbs is significant for the origin and evolution of tetrapods, ...

Fingerprints are among the most distinctive features of human biology, serving as enduring identifiers for individuals and as windows into genetic and developmental processes. The three major ...
