Researchers have long known that temperature can determine whether some reptiles develop as male or female, but this process ...

In reptiles, a simple temperature change can determine whether an egg develops into a male or female. This process is formally known as temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD), in which the sex ...

Schizophrenia risk may reflect two brain pathways with different cortical and subcortical balance. Early language learning relies more on subcortical systems; later learning engages cortical control.

In recent years, the revolutionary progress in research methods, especially single-cell multi-omics, has ushered in a transformative era in the study of developmental biology. Modern developmental ...

The future of federally funded research at Harvard Medical School — supported by taxpayers and done in service to humanity — remains uncertain. Learn more. One of the most enduring goals in ...

Interdisciplinary approaches in developmental biology have revealed how cells build the embryonic bones of the skull vault. Spatial and temporal dynamics are coordinated by cells as they build the ...

Trofim Lysenko stands as a paradoxical figure in the history of science, a man whose innovative, practical contributions to developmental biology and agriculture are often overshadowed by his ...
