The development of the female reproductive tract encompasses a sequence of tightly orchestrated events from embryogenesis through to sexual maturity. The primordia of the oviducts, uterus, cervix and ...

Elucidating the molecular dependencies behind the cancer-type specificity of driver mutations may reveal new therapeutic opportunities. We hypothesized that developmental programs would impact the ...

Unlike the dopplegängers of folklore or the evil twins of popular entertainment, digital twins don’t just appear seemingly out of nowhere. They are painstakingly developed and refined. And neither are ...

Systems biology is a rapidly evolving discipline that examines the complex interactions underlying biological function ...

Diets rich in sugars and fats are associated with metabolic disorders such as insulin resistance, chronic inflammation and ...

Ever better experimental techniques allow us to perform experiments under tightly controlled conditions and can deliver gigantic amounts of data reflecting the complexity of biology. This has vastly ...

A newly discovered genetic clock acts as the body's developmental timekeeper, coordinating the bursts of gene activity needed ...

The undergraduate minor in molecular, cellular and developmental biology prepares students to address global challenges such as climate change, international conflict and economic inequality. The ...

In 2020, researchers engineered living, programmable organisms from Xenopus laevis, calling them xenobots, which could self-assemble and even reproduce. Building on this work, scientists later ...

The formal foundations of systems biology were articulated in the early 2000s, when Leroy Hood and colleagues at the Institute for Systems Biology in Seattle proposed a framework combining systematic ...
