Down Syndrome And Language Development

Plant Development: Size Matters, and It's All Down to Hormones

How do plants determine the number of dividing cells required to optimise root growth and ensure seedling establishment? The signals auxin, cytokinin and gibberellin control the balance between cell division and differentiation by regulating SHY2.

Limb development: Getting down to the ground state

In 1935, Snodgrass proposed that the evolutionary ground state of arthropod limbs consisted of two segments. Recent genetic studies on the Antennapedia and Homothorax genes of Drosophila raise questions about the nature of this ground state appendage.

A Top-Down Visual Approach to GUI development

In this paper, we propose an advance in the field of computer-aided development of interactive applications, which consists in a methodology that integrates the advantages of graph-based design with a visual construction of software applications using component assembly mechanisms. We have exploited such technique enhancing the visual approach to develop the graphic and interactive features of ...

The development of the Down syndrome phenotype

This month’s practitioners meeting involved an interesting and fruitful discussion of a new paper published in Infants and Children. The author, Deborah Fidler, of Colorado State University has been working in the field of genetic syndromes associated with intellectual disabilities, including Down syndrome since 1997. This paper clearly and concisely reviews the growing body of research into th...
